• Abstract: Most recent person re-identification approaches are based on the use of deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs). These networks, although effective in multiple tasks such as classification or object detection, tend to focus on the most discriminative part of an object rather than retrieving all its relevant features. This behavior penalizes the performance of a CNN for the re-identification task, since it should identify diverse and fine grained features. It is then essential to make the network learn a wide variety of finer characteristics in order to make the re-identification process of people effective and robust to finer changes. In this article, we introduce Deep Miner, a method that allows CNNs to "mine" richer and more diverse features about people for their re-identification. Deep Miner is specifically composed of three types of branches: a Global branch (G-branch), a Local branch (L-branch) and an Input-Erased branch (IE-branch). G-branch corresponds to the initial backbone which predicts global characteristics, while L-branch retrieves part level resolution features. The IE-branch for its part, receives partially suppressed feature maps as input thereby allowing the network to "mine" new features (those ignored by G-branch) as output. For this special purpose, a dedicated suppression procedure for identifying and removing features within a given CNN is introduced. This suppression procedure has the major benefit of being simple, while it produces a model that significantly outperforms state-of-the-art (SOTA) re-identification methods. Specifically, we conduct experiments on four standard person re-identification benchmarks and witness an absolute performance gain up to 6.5% mAP compared to SOTA.

  We propose Dynamic Perceiver (Dyn-Perceiver) to decouple the feature extraction procedure and the early classification task. A feature branch serves to extract image features, while a classification branch processes a latent code assigned for classification tasks. Early exits are placed exclusively within the classification branch, thus eliminating the need for linear separability in low-level features.

  Convolutional neural networks (CNN) define the state-of-the-art solution on many perceptual tasks.

We propose a simple and light-weight detector, which leverages recent findings on the relation between networks' local intrinsic dimensionality (LID) and adversarial attacks.

Specifically, it consists of three key components: 1) multiple spatial attention heads to make the network attend to different local parts; 2) textural feature enhancement block to zoom in the subtle artifacts in shallow features; 3) aggregate the low-level textural feature and high-level semantic features guided by the attention maps.

  A big challenge of person re-identification (Re-ID) using a multi-branch network architecture is to learn diverse features from the ID-labeled dataset. The 2-branch Batch DropBlock (BDB) network was recently proposed for achieving diversity between the global branch and the feature-dropping branch. We show that the proposed method performs superior to BDB on popular person Re-ID datasets, including Market-1501, DukeMTMC-reID and CUHK03.
