STA: Spatial-Temporal Attention for Large-Scale Video-based Person Re-Identification
In this work, we propose a novel Spatial-Temporal Attention (STA) approach to
tackle the large-scale person re-identification task in videos. Different from
the most existing methods, which simply compute representations of video clips
using frame-level aggregation (e.g. average pooling), the proposed STA adopts a
more effective way for producing robust clip-level feature representation.
Concretely, our STA fully exploits those discriminative parts of one target
person in both spatial and temporal dimensions, which results in a 2-D
attention score matrix via inter-frame regularization to measure the
importances of spatial parts across different frames. Thus, a more robust
clip-level feature representation can be generated according to a weighted sum
operation guided by the mined 2-D attention score matrix. In this way, the
challenging cases for video-based person re-identification such as pose
variation and partial occlusion can be well tackled by the STA. We conduct
extensive experiments on two large-scale benchmarks, i.e. MARS and
DukeMTMC-VideoReID. In particular, the mAP reaches 87.7% on MARS, which
significantly outperforms the state-of-the-arts with a large margin of more
than 11.6%.Comment: Accepted as a conference paper at AAAI 201
Multi-scale 3D Convolution Network for Video Based Person Re-Identification
This paper proposes a two-stream convolution network to extract spatial and
temporal cues for video based person Re-Identification (ReID). A temporal
stream in this network is constructed by inserting several Multi-scale 3D (M3D)
convolution layers into a 2D CNN network. The resulting M3D convolution network
introduces a fraction of parameters into the 2D CNN, but gains the ability of
multi-scale temporal feature learning. With this compact architecture, M3D
convolution network is also more efficient and easier to optimize than existing
3D convolution networks. The temporal stream further involves Residual
Attention Layers (RAL) to refine the temporal features. By jointly learning
spatial-temporal attention masks in a residual manner, RAL identifies the
discriminative spatial regions and temporal cues. The other stream in our
network is implemented with a 2D CNN for spatial feature extraction. The
spatial and temporal features from two streams are finally fused for the video
based person ReID. Evaluations on three widely used benchmarks datasets, i.e.,
MARS, PRID2011, and iLIDS-VID demonstrate the substantial advantages of our
method over existing 3D convolution networks and state-of-art methods.Comment: AAAI, 201
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
