Pedestrian Attribute Recognition: A Survey
Recognizing pedestrian attributes is an important task in computer vision
community due to it plays an important role in video surveillance. Many
algorithms has been proposed to handle this task. The goal of this paper is to
review existing works using traditional methods or based on deep learning
networks. Firstly, we introduce the background of pedestrian attributes
recognition (PAR, for short), including the fundamental concepts of pedestrian
attributes and corresponding challenges. Secondly, we introduce existing
benchmarks, including popular datasets and evaluation criterion. Thirdly, we
analyse the concept of multi-task learning and multi-label learning, and also
explain the relations between these two learning algorithms and pedestrian
attribute recognition. We also review some popular network architectures which
have widely applied in the deep learning community. Fourthly, we analyse
popular solutions for this task, such as attributes group, part-based,
\emph{etc}. Fifthly, we shown some applications which takes pedestrian
attributes into consideration and achieve better performance. Finally, we
summarized this paper and give several possible research directions for
pedestrian attributes recognition. The project page of this paper can be found

Towards Egocentric Person Re-identification and Social Pattern Analysis
Wearable cameras capture a first-person view of the daily activities of the
camera wearer, offering a visual diary of the user behaviour. Detection of the
appearance of people the camera user interacts with for social interactions
analysis is of high interest. Generally speaking, social events, lifestyle and
health are highly correlated, but there is a lack of tools to monitor and
analyse them. We consider that egocentric vision provides a tool to obtain
information and understand users social interactions. We propose a model that
enables us to evaluate and visualize social traits obtained by analysing social
interactions appearance within egocentric photostreams. Given sets of
egocentric images, we detect the appearance of faces within the days of the
camera wearer, and rely on clustering algorithms to group their feature
descriptors in order to re-identify persons. Recurrence of detected faces
within photostreams allows us to shape an idea of the social pattern of
behaviour of the user. We validated our model over several weeks recorded by
different camera wearers. Our findings indicate that social profiles are
potentially useful for social behaviour interpretation
