Learning Deep Context-aware Features over Body and Latent Parts for Person Re-identification
Person Re-identification (ReID) is to identify the same person across
different cameras. It is a challenging task due to the large variations in
person pose, occlusion, background clutter, etc How to extract powerful
features is a fundamental problem in ReID and is still an open problem today.
In this paper, we design a Multi-Scale Context-Aware Network (MSCAN) to learn
powerful features over full body and body parts, which can well capture the
local context knowledge by stacking multi-scale convolutions in each layer.
Moreover, instead of using predefined rigid parts, we propose to learn and
localize deformable pedestrian parts using Spatial Transformer Networks (STN)
with novel spatial constraints. The learned body parts can release some
difficulties, eg pose variations and background clutters, in part-based
representation. Finally, we integrate the representation learning processes of
full body and body parts into a unified framework for person ReID through
multi-class person identification tasks. Extensive evaluations on current
challenging large-scale person ReID datasets, including the image-based
Market1501, CUHK03 and sequence-based MARS datasets, show that the proposed
method achieves the state-of-the-art results.Comment: Accepted by CVPR 201
