What-and-Where to Match: Deep Spatially Multiplicative Integration Networks for Person Re-identification
Matching pedestrians across disjoint camera views, known as person
re-identification (re-id), is a challenging problem that is of importance to
visual recognition and surveillance. Most existing methods exploit local
regions within spatial manipulation to perform matching in local
correspondence. However, they essentially extract \emph{fixed} representations
from pre-divided regions for each image and perform matching based on the
extracted representation subsequently. For models in this pipeline, local finer
patterns that are crucial to distinguish positive pairs from negative ones
cannot be captured, and thus making them underperformed. In this paper, we
propose a novel deep multiplicative integration gating function, which answers
the question of \emph{what-and-where to match} for effective person re-id. To
address \emph{what} to match, our deep network emphasizes common local patterns
by learning joint representations in a multiplicative way. The network
comprises two Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to extract convolutional
activations, and generates relevant descriptors for pedestrian matching. This
thus, leads to flexible representations for pair-wise images. To address
\emph{where} to match, we combat the spatial misalignment by performing
spatially recurrent pooling via a four-directional recurrent neural network to
impose spatial dependency over all positions with respect to the entire image.
The proposed network is designed to be end-to-end trainable to characterize
local pairwise feature interactions in a spatially aligned manner. To
demonstrate the superiority of our method, extensive experiments are conducted
over three benchmark data sets: VIPeR, CUHK03 and Market-1501.Comment: Published at Pattern Recognition, Elsevie
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
