• Abstract summary: Person search aims to simultaneously localize and identify a query person from realistic, uncropped images. Most existing works employ two-stage detectors like Faster-RCNN, yielding encouraging accuracy but with high computational overhead. We present the Feature-Aligned Person Search Network (AlignPS), the first anchor-free framework to efficiently tackle this challenging task.

• Abstract: Person search aims to simultaneously localize and identify a query person from realistic, uncropped images, which can be regarded as the unified task of pedestrian detection and person re-identification (re-id). Most existing works employ two-stage detectors like Faster-RCNN, yielding encouraging accuracy but with high computational overhead. In this work, we present the Feature-Aligned Person Search Network (AlignPS), the first anchor-free framework to efficiently tackle this challenging task. AlignPS explicitly addresses the major challenges, which we summarize as the misalignment issues in different levels (i.e., scale, region, and task), when accommodating an anchor-free detector for this task. More specifically, we propose an aligned feature aggregation module to generate more discriminative and robust feature embeddings by following a "re-id first" principle. Such a simple design directly improves the baseline anchor-free model on CUHK-SYSU by more than 20% in mAP. Moreover, AlignPS outperforms state-of-the-art two-stage methods, with a higher speed.

  Visual place recognition (VPR) is one of the research hotspots in robotics, which uses visual information to locate robots. We present a unified network capable of extracting global features for retrieving candidates via an aggregation module. We also propose a Semi-hard Positive Sample Mining (ShPSM) strategy to select appropriate hard positive images for training more robust VPR networks.

  We bridge the performance gap between sparse and dense detectors by proposing Adaptive Sparse Anchor Generator (ASAG) ASAG predicts dynamic anchors on patches rather than grids in a sparse way so that it alleviates the feature conflict problem. Our method outperforms dense-d ones and achieves a better speed-accuracy trade-off.

  Person search aims to simultaneously localize and identify a query person from realistic, uncropped images. To achieve this goal, state-of-the-art models typically add a re-id branch upon two-stage detectors like Faster R-CNN. In this work, we present an anchor-free approach to efficiently tackling this challenging task, by introducing the following dedicated designs.

  Person search has recently emerged as a challenging task that jointly addresses pedestrian detection and person re-identification. Existing approaches follow a fully supervised setting where both bounding box and identity annotations are available. This paper inventively considers weakly supervised person search with only bounding box annotations.

Almost all state-of-the-art object detectors such as RetinaNet, SSD, YOLOv3, and Faster R-CNN rely on pre-defined anchor boxes. In contrast, our proposed detector FCOS is anchor box free, as well as proposal free.
