Learning Correspondence Structures for Person Re-identification
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 constraint-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. Finally, we also extend our approach by
introducing a multi-structure scheme, which learns a set of local
correspondence structures to capture the spatial correspondence sub-patterns
between a camera pair, so as to handle the spatial misalignments between
individual images in a more precise way. Experimental results on various
datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.Comment: IEEE Trans. Image Processing, vol. 26, no. 5, pp. 2438-2453, 2017.

Support Neighbor Loss for Person Re-Identification
Person re-identification (re-ID) has recently been tremendously boosted due
to the advancement of deep convolutional neural networks (CNN). The majority of
deep re-ID methods focus on designing new CNN architectures, while less
attention is paid on investigating the loss functions. Verification loss and
identification loss are two types of losses widely used to train various deep
re-ID models, both of which however have limitations. Verification loss guides
the networks to generate feature embeddings of which the intra-class variance
is decreased while the inter-class ones is enlarged. However, training networks
with verification loss tends to be of slow convergence and unstable performance
when the number of training samples is large. On the other hand, identification
loss has good separating and scalable property. But its neglect to explicitly
reduce the intra-class variance limits its performance on re-ID, because the
same person may have significant appearance disparity across different camera
views. To avoid the limitations of the two types of losses, we propose a new
loss, called support neighbor (SN) loss. Rather than being derived from data
sample pairs or triplets, SN loss is calculated based on the positive and
negative support neighbor sets of each anchor sample, which contain more
valuable contextual information and neighborhood structure that are beneficial
for more stable performance. To ensure scalability and separability, a
softmax-like function is formulated to push apart the positive and negative
support sets. To reduce intra-class variance, the distance between the anchor's
nearest positive neighbor and furthest positive sample is penalized.
Integrating SN loss on top of Resnet50, superior re-ID results to the
state-of-the-art ones are obtained on several widely used datasets.Comment: Accepted by ACM Multimedia (ACM MM) 201
