• Authors: Vikram Shree, Wei-Lun Chao and Mark Campbell
• Abstract summary: In this paper, an attribute-based approach is proposed where the person of interest is described by a set of visual attributes. We compare multiple algorithms and analyze how the quality of attributes impacts the performance. A key conclusion is that the performance achieved by non-expert attributes, instead of expert-annotated ones, is a more faithful indicator of the status quo of attribute-based approaches for person re-identification.

• Abstract: Person re-identification aims to identify a person from an image collection, given one image of that person as the query. There is, however, a plethora of real-life scenarios where we may not have a priori library of query images and therefore must rely on information from other modalities. In this paper, an attribute-based approach is proposed where the person of interest (POI) is described by a set of visual attributes, which are used to perform the search. We compare multiple algorithms and analyze how the quality of attributes impacts the performance. While prior work mostly relies on high precision attributes annotated by experts, we conduct a human-subject study and reveal that certain visual attributes could not be consistently described by human observers, making them less reliable in real applications. A key conclusion is that the performance achieved by non-expert attributes, instead of expert-annotated ones, is a more faithful indicator of the status quo of attribute-based approaches for person re-identification.

  We propose a new generative adversarial network, dubbed identity shuffle GAN (IS-GAN) It disentangles identity-related and unrelated features from person images through an identity-shuffling technique. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of IS-GAN, showing state-of-the-art performance on standard reID benchmarks.

  We propose a sentence generation-based retrieval formulation for attribute recognition. For each attribute to be recognized on an image, we measure the visual-conditioned probability of generating a short sentence. We demonstrate through experiments that generative retrieval consistently outperforms contrastive retrieval on two visual reasoning datasets.

  retrievers are expected to not only rely on the semantic relevance between the documents and the queries but also recognize the nuanced intents or perspectives behind a user query. In this work, we study whether retrievers can recognize and respond to different perspectives of the queries. We show that current retrievers have limited awareness of subtly different perspectives in queries and can also be biased toward certain perspectives.

  We propose an end-to-end person unicity matching architecture for learning and refining the person matching relations. We use the samples' global context relationship to refine the soft matching results and reach the matching unicity through bipartite graph matching. Given full consideration to real-world person re-identification applications, we achieve the unicity matching in both one-shot and multi-shot settings.
