• Abstract: 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. However, annotating identities is labor-intensive, limiting the practicability and scalability of current frameworks. This paper inventively considers weakly supervised person search with only bounding box annotations. We proposed the first framework to address this novel task, namely Context-Guided Person Search (CGPS), by investigating three levels of context clues (i.e., detection, memory and scene) in unconstrained natural images. The first two are employed to promote local and global discriminative capabilities, while the latter enhances clustering accuracy. Despite its simple design, our CGPS boosts the baseline model by 8.3% in mAP on CUHK-SYSU. Surprisingly, it even achieves comparable performance to two-step person search models, while displaying higher efficiency. Our code is available at https://github.com/ljpadam/CGPS.

  Person search is a challenging task that involves retrieving individuals from a large set of un-cropped scene images. Existing person search applications are mostly trained and deployed in the same-origin scenarios. We propose a generalizable framework on both feature-level and data-level generalization to facilitate downstream tasks in arbitrary scenarios.

  We introduce a Context-Guided and Unpaired-Assisted (CGUA) weakly supervised person search framework.

Our method achieves comparable or better performance to the state-of-the-art supervised methods by leveraging more diverse unlabeled data.

  Person search aims to jointly localize and identify a query person from natural, uncropped images. We exploit rich context information globally and locally surrounding the target person, which we refer to scene and group context, respectively. We propose a unified global-local context network (GLCNet) with the intuitive aim of feature enhancement.

  Person search aims to simultaneously localize and identify a query person from realistic, uncropped images.

In this work, we present an anchor-free approach to efficiently tackling this challenging task, by introducing the following dedicated designs.

  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.
