• Abstract summary: We propose a new end-to-end learning framework which jointly optimize the pedestrian detection, identification and visual-semantic feature embedding tasks. To take full advantage of the query text, the semantic features are leveraged to instruct the Region Proposal Network to pay more attention to the text-described proposals.

• Abstract: Finding target persons in full scene images with a query of text description has important practical applications in intelligent video surveillance.However, different from the real-world scenarios where the bounding boxes are not available, existing text-based person retrieval methods mainly focus on the cross modal matching between the query text descriptions and the gallery of cropped pedestrian images. To close the gap, we study the problem of text-based person search in full images by proposing a new end-to-end learning framework which jointly optimize the pedestrian detection, identification and visual-semantic feature embedding tasks. To take full advantage of the query text, the semantic features are leveraged to instruct the Region Proposal Network to pay more attention to the text-described proposals. Besides, a cross-scale visual-semantic embedding mechanism is utilized to improve the performance. To validate the proposed method, we collect and annotate two large-scale benchmark datasets based on the widely adopted image-based person search datasets CUHK-SYSU and PRW. Comprehensive experiments are conducted on the two datasets and compared with the baseline methods, our method achieves the state-of-the-art performance.

  Image-text retrieval is a central problem for understanding the semantic relationship between vision and language. Previous works either simply learn coarse-grained representations of the overall image and text, or elaborately establish the correspondence between image regions or pixels and text words. In this work, we address image-text retrieval from a novel perspective by combining coarse- and fine-grained representation learning into a unified framework.

  We propose a novel Hierarchical Graph Alignment Network (HGAN) for image-text retrieval. First, to capture the comprehensive multimodal features, we construct the feature graphs for the image and text modality respectively. Then, a multi-granularity shared space is established with a designed Multi-granularity Feature Aggregation and Rearrangement (MFAR) module. Finally, the ultimate image and text features are further refined through three-level similarity functions to achieve the hierarchical alignment.

  Text-based person search (TBPS) is a challenging task that aims to search pedestrian images with the same identity from an image gallery given a query text. Most existing methods rely on explicitly generated local parts to model fine-grained correspondence between modalities. We propose an efficient joint Multi-level Alignment Network (MANet) for TBPS, which can learn aligned image/text feature representations between modalities at multiple levels.
