Learning Shape Representations for Clothing Variations in Person Re-Identification

Li, Yu-Jhe, Luo, Zhengyi, Weng, Xinshuo et al.

Understand

Person re-identification (re-ID) aims to recognize instances of the same person contained in multiple images taken across different cameras.

  • Existing methods for re-ID tend to rely heavily on the assumption that both query and gallery images of the same person have the same clothing.
  • Unfortunately, this assumption may not hold for datasets captured over long periods of time (e.g., weeks, months or years).
  • To tackle the re-ID problem in the context of clothing changes, we propose a novel representation learning model which is able to generate a body shape feature representation without being affected by clothing color or patterns.
