Abstract
Person re-identification (Re-ID) is a research hot spot in the field of intelligent video analysis, and it is also a challenging task. As the number of samples grows larger, traditional metric and feature learning methods fall into bottleneck, while it just meets the needs of deep learning algorithm, which perform very well in person re-identification. Although they have achieved good results in the field of supervised learning, their application in real-world scenarios is not very satisfactory. This is mainly because in the real world, a huge number of labeled images are hard to obtain, and even if they are obtained, the cost is expensive. Meanwhile, the performance of deep learning in unsupervised metrics is not ideal. For solving the problem, we propose a new method based on unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) and re-ranking, and name it UDA[Formula: see text]. As for this method, we first train a camera-aware style transfer model to gain camstyle images. Then we further reduce the difference between the domain of the target and source by using invariant feature, and further improve their commonality. In addition, re-ranking is also introduced to optimize the matching results. This method can not only reduce the cost of obtaining labeled data, but also improve the accuracy. Experimental results show that our method can outperform the most advanced method by 4% on Rank-1 and 14% on mAP. The results also better confirm the effectiveness of Re-ranking module and provide a new idea for domain adaptation by unsupervised methods in the future.
