KCRC-LCD: Discriminative Kernel Collaborative Representation with Locality Constrained Dictionary for Visual Categorization
We consider the image classification problem via kernel collaborative
representation classification with locality constrained dictionary (KCRC-LCD).
Specifically, we propose a kernel collaborative representation classification
(KCRC) approach in which kernel method is used to improve the discrimination
ability of collaborative representation classification (CRC). We then measure
the similarities between the query and atoms in the global dictionary in order
to construct a locality constrained dictionary (LCD) for KCRC. In addition, we
discuss several similarity measure approaches in LCD and further present a
simple yet effective unified similarity measure whose superiority is validated
in experiments. There are several appealing aspects associated with LCD. First,
LCD can be nicely incorporated under the framework of KCRC. The LCD similarity
measure can be kernelized under KCRC, which theoretically links CRC and LCD
under the kernel method. Second, KCRC-LCD becomes more scalable to both the
training set size and the feature dimension. Example shows that KCRC is able to
perfectly classify data with certain distribution, while conventional CRC fails
completely. Comprehensive experiments on many public datasets also show that
KCRC-LCD is a robust discriminative classifier with both excellent performance
and good scalability, being comparable or outperforming many other
state-of-the-art approaches
Interpretable and Generalizable Person Re-Identification with Query-Adaptive Convolution and Temporal Lifting
For person re-identification, existing deep networks often focus on
representation learning. However, without transfer learning, the learned model
is fixed as is, which is not adaptable for handling various unseen scenarios.
In this paper, beyond representation learning, we consider how to formulate
person image matching directly in deep feature maps. We treat image matching as
finding local correspondences in feature maps, and construct query-adaptive
convolution kernels on the fly to achieve local matching. In this way, the
matching process and results are interpretable, and this explicit matching is
more generalizable than representation features to unseen scenarios, such as
unknown misalignments, pose or viewpoint changes. To facilitate end-to-end
training of this architecture, we further build a class memory module to cache
feature maps of the most recent samples of each class, so as to compute image
matching losses for metric learning. Through direct cross-dataset evaluation,
the proposed Query-Adaptive Convolution (QAConv) method gains large
improvements over popular learning methods (about 10%+ mAP), and achieves
comparable results to many transfer learning methods. Besides, a model-free
temporal cooccurrence based score weighting method called TLift is proposed,
which improves the performance to a further extent, achieving state-of-the-art
results in cross-dataset person re-identification. Code is available at
