Person re-identification by robust canonical correlation analysis
Person re-identification is the task to match people in surveillance cameras at different time and location. Due to significant view and pose change across non-overlapping cameras, directly matching data from different views is a challenging issue to solve. In this letter, we propose a robust canonical correlation analysis (ROCCA) to match people from different views in a coherent subspace. Given a small training set as in most re-identification problems, direct application of canonical correlation analysis (CCA) may lead to poor performance due to the inaccuracy in estimating the data covariance matrices. The proposed ROCCA with shrinkage estimation and smoothing technique is simple to implement and can robustly estimate the data covariance matrices with limited training samples. Experimental results on two publicly available datasets show that the proposed ROCCA outperforms regularized CCA (RCCA), and achieves state-of-the-art matching results for person re-identification as compared to the most recent methods
Person Re-identification with Correspondence Structure Learning
This paper addresses the problem of handling spatial misalignments due to
camera-view changes or human-pose variations in person re-identification. We
first introduce a boosting-based approach to learn a correspondence structure
which indicates the patch-wise matching probabilities between images from a
target camera pair. The learned correspondence structure can not only capture
the spatial correspondence pattern between cameras but also handle the
viewpoint or human-pose variation in individual images. We further introduce a
global-based matching process. It integrates a global matching constraint over
the learned correspondence structure to exclude cross-view misalignments during
the image patch matching process, hence achieving a more reliable matching
score between images. Experimental results on various datasets demonstrate the
effectiveness of our approach
Multi-shot Pedestrian Re-identification via Sequential Decision Making
Multi-shot pedestrian re-identification problem is at the core of
surveillance video analysis. It matches two tracks of pedestrians from
different cameras. In contrary to existing works that aggregate single frames
features by time series model such as recurrent neural network, in this paper,
we propose an interpretable reinforcement learning based approach to this
problem. Particularly, we train an agent to verify a pair of images at each
time. The agent could choose to output the result (same or different) or
request another pair of images to verify (unsure). By this way, our model
implicitly learns the difficulty of image pairs, and postpone the decision when
the model does not accumulate enough evidence. Moreover, by adjusting the
reward for unsure action, we can easily trade off between speed and accuracy.
In three open benchmarks, our method are competitive with the state-of-the-art
methods while only using 3% to 6% images. These promising results demonstrate
that our method is favorable in both efficiency and performance
Multi-scale Deep Learning Architectures for Person Re-identification
Person Re-identification (re-id) aims to match people across non-overlapping
camera views in a public space. It is a challenging problem because many people
captured in surveillance videos wear similar clothes. Consequently, the
differences in their appearance are often subtle and only detectable at the
right location and scales. Existing re-id models, particularly the recently
proposed deep learning based ones match people at a single scale. In contrast,
in this paper, a novel multi-scale deep learning model is proposed. Our model
is able to learn deep discriminative feature representations at different
scales and automatically determine the most suitable scales for matching. The
importance of different spatial locations for extracting discriminative
features is also learned explicitly. Experiments are carried out to demonstrate
that the proposed model outperforms the state-of-the art on a number of
benchmarksComment: 9 pages, 3 figures, accepted by ICCV 201
Recurrent Attention Models for Depth-Based Person Identification
We present an attention-based model that reasons on human body shape and
motion dynamics to identify individuals in the absence of RGB information,
hence in the dark. Our approach leverages unique 4D spatio-temporal signatures
to address the identification problem across days. Formulated as a
reinforcement learning task, our model is based on a combination of
convolutional and recurrent neural networks with the goal of identifying small,
discriminative regions indicative of human identity. We demonstrate that our
model produces state-of-the-art results on several published datasets given
only depth images. We further study the robustness of our model towards
viewpoint, appearance, and volumetric changes. Finally, we share insights
gleaned from interpretable 2D, 3D, and 4D visualizations of our model's
spatio-temporal attention.Comment: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) 201
