Expanded Parts Model for Semantic Description of Humans in Still Images
We introduce an Expanded Parts Model (EPM) for recognizing human attributes
(e.g. young, short hair, wearing suit) and actions (e.g. running, jumping) in
still images. An EPM is a collection of part templates which are learnt
discriminatively to explain specific scale-space regions in the images (in
human centric coordinates). This is in contrast to current models which consist
of a relatively few (i.e. a mixture of) 'average' templates. EPM uses only a
subset of the parts to score an image and scores the image sparsely in space,
i.e. it ignores redundant and random background in an image. To learn our
model, we propose an algorithm which automatically mines parts and learns
corresponding discriminative templates together with their respective locations
from a large number of candidate parts. We validate our method on three recent
challenging datasets of human attributes and actions. We obtain convincing
qualitative and state-of-the-art quantitative results on the three datasets.Comment: Accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and

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
