Beyond Intra-modality: A Survey of Heterogeneous Person Re-identification
An efficient and effective person re-identification (ReID) system relieves
the users from painful and boring video watching and accelerates the process of
video analysis. Recently, with the explosive demands of practical applications,
a lot of research efforts have been dedicated to heterogeneous person
re-identification (Hetero-ReID). In this paper, we provide a comprehensive
review of state-of-the-art Hetero-ReID methods that address the challenge of
inter-modality discrepancies. According to the application scenario, we
classify the methods into four categories -- low-resolution, infrared, sketch,
and text. We begin with an introduction of ReID, and make a comparison between
Homogeneous ReID (Homo-ReID) and Hetero-ReID tasks. Then, we describe and
compare existing datasets for performing evaluations, and survey the models
that have been widely employed in Hetero-ReID. We also summarize and compare
the representative approaches from two perspectives, i.e., the application
scenario and the learning pipeline. We conclude by a discussion of some future
research directions. Follow-up updates are avaible at:

Joint Detection and Tracking in Videos with Identification Features
Recent works have shown that combining object detection and tracking tasks,
in the case of video data, results in higher performance for both tasks, but
they require a high frame-rate as a strict requirement for performance. This is
assumption is often violated in real-world applications, when models run on
embedded devices, often at only a few frames per second.
Videos at low frame-rate suffer from large object displacements. Here
re-identification features may support to match large-displaced object
detections, but current joint detection and re-identification formulations
degrade the detector performance, as these two are contrasting tasks. In the
real-world application having separate detector and re-id models is often not
feasible, as both the memory and runtime effectively double.
Towards robust long-term tracking applicable to reduced-computational-power
devices, we propose the first joint optimization of detection, tracking and
re-identification features for videos. Notably, our joint optimization
maintains the detector performance, a typical multi-task challenge. At
inference time, we leverage detections for tracking (tracking-by-detection)
when the objects are visible, detectable and slowly moving in the image. We
leverage instead re-identification features to match objects which disappeared
(e.g. due to occlusion) for several frames or were not tracked due to fast
motion (or low-frame-rate videos). Our proposed method reaches the
state-of-the-art on MOT, it ranks 1st in the UA-DETRAC'18 tracking challenge
among online trackers, and 3rd overall.Comment: Accepted at Image and Vision Computing Journa
Borrow from Anywhere: Pseudo Multi-modal Object Detection in Thermal Imagery
Can we improve detection in the thermal domain by borrowing features from
rich domains like visual RGB? In this paper, we propose a pseudo-multimodal
object detector trained on natural image domain data to help improve the
performance of object detection in thermal images. We assume access to a
large-scale dataset in the visual RGB domain and relatively smaller dataset (in
terms of instances) in the thermal domain, as is common today. We propose the
use of well-known image-to-image translation frameworks to generate pseudo-RGB
equivalents of a given thermal image and then use a multi-modal architecture
for object detection in the thermal image. We show that our framework
outperforms existing benchmarks without the explicit need for paired training
examples from the two domains. We also show that our framework has the ability
to learn with less data from thermal domain when using our approach. Our code
and pre-trained models are made available at

FuSSI-Net: Fusion of Spatio-temporal Skeletons for Intention Prediction Network
Pedestrian intention recognition is very important to develop robust and safe
autonomous driving (AD) and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS)
functionalities for urban driving. In this work, we develop an end-to-end
pedestrian intention framework that performs well on day- and night- time
scenarios. Our framework relies on objection detection bounding boxes combined
with skeletal features of human pose. We study early, late, and combined (early
and late) fusion mechanisms to exploit the skeletal features and reduce false
positives as well to improve the intention prediction performance. The early
fusion mechanism results in AP of 0.89 and precision/recall of 0.79/0.89 for
pedestrian intention classification. Furthermore, we propose three new metrics
to properly evaluate the pedestrian intention systems. Under these new
evaluation metrics for the intention prediction, the proposed end-to-end
network offers accurate pedestrian intention up to half a second ahead of the
actual risky maneuver.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figures, 5 tables, IEEE Asilomar SS
