Person re-identification by robust canonical correlation analysis
Person re-identification is the task to match people in surveillance cameras at different time and location. Due to significant view and pose change across non-overlapping cameras, directly matching data from different views is a challenging issue to solve. In this letter, we propose a robust canonical correlation analysis (ROCCA) to match people from different views in a coherent subspace. Given a small training set as in most re-identification problems, direct application of canonical correlation analysis (CCA) may lead to poor performance due to the inaccuracy in estimating the data covariance matrices. The proposed ROCCA with shrinkage estimation and smoothing technique is simple to implement and can robustly estimate the data covariance matrices with limited training samples. Experimental results on two publicly available datasets show that the proposed ROCCA outperforms regularized CCA (RCCA), and achieves state-of-the-art matching results for person re-identification as compared to the most recent methods
Fast Landmark Localization with 3D Component Reconstruction and CNN for Cross-Pose Recognition
Two approaches are proposed for cross-pose face recognition, one is based on
the 3D reconstruction of facial components and the other is based on the deep
Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Unlike most 3D approaches that consider
holistic faces, the proposed approach considers 3D facial components. It
segments a 2D gallery face into components, reconstructs the 3D surface for
each component, and recognizes a probe face by component features. The
segmentation is based on the landmarks located by a hierarchical algorithm that
combines the Faster R-CNN for face detection and the Reduced Tree Structured
Model for landmark localization. The core part of the CNN-based approach is a
revised VGG network. We study the performances with different settings on the
training set, including the synthesized data from 3D reconstruction, the
real-life data from an in-the-wild database, and both types of data combined.
We investigate the performances of the network when it is employed as a
classifier or designed as a feature extractor. The two recognition approaches
and the fast landmark localization are evaluated in extensive experiments, and
compared to stateof-the-art methods to demonstrate their efficacy.Comment: 14 pages, 12 figures, 4 table
