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

A Generative Model of People in Clothing
We present the first image-based generative model of people in clothing for
the full body. We sidestep the commonly used complex graphics rendering
pipeline and the need for high-quality 3D scans of dressed people. Instead, we
learn generative models from a large image database. The main challenge is to
cope with the high variance in human pose, shape and appearance. For this
reason, pure image-based approaches have not been considered so far. We show
that this challenge can be overcome by splitting the generating process in two
parts. First, we learn to generate a semantic segmentation of the body and
clothing. Second, we learn a conditional model on the resulting segments that
creates realistic images. The full model is differentiable and can be
conditioned on pose, shape or color. The result are samples of people in
different clothing items and styles. The proposed model can generate entirely
new people with realistic clothing. In several experiments we present
encouraging results that suggest an entirely data-driven approach to people
generation is possible
