• Abstract: In recent years, supervised Person Re-identification (Person ReID) approaches have demonstrated excellent performance. However, when these methods are applied to inputs from a different camera network, they typically suffer from significant performance degradation. Different from most domain adaptation (DA) approaches addressing this issue, we focus on developing a domain generalization (DG) Person ReID model that can be deployed without additional fine-tuning or adaptation. In this paper, we propose the Domain Embedding Expansion (DEX) module. DEX dynamically manipulates and augments deep features based on person and domain labels during training, significantly improving the generalization capability and robustness of Person ReID models to unseen domains. We also developed a light version of DEX (DEXLite), applying negative sampling techniques to scale to larger datasets and reduce memory usage for multi-branch networks. Our proposed DEX and DEXLite can be combined with many existing methods, Bag-of-Tricks (BagTricks), the Multi-Granularity Network (MGN), and Part-Based Convolutional Baseline (PCB), in a plug-and-play manner. With DEX and DEXLite, existing methods can gain significant improvements when tested on other unseen datasets, thereby demonstrating the general applicability of our method. Our solution outperforms the state-of-the-art DG Person ReID methods in all large-scale benchmarks as well as in most the small-scale benchmarks.

  Person ReID methods experience a significant drop in performance when trained and tested across different datasets. Our research reveals that domain generalization methods significantly underperform single-domain supervised methods on single dataset benchmarks. We propose a way to achieve ODG-ReID by creating deep feature diversity with self-ensembles.

  This work focuses on the more practical Domain Generalized Person Re-identification (DG-ReID) problem. One promising research direction in DG-ReID is the use of implicit deep semantic feature expansion. We show that DEX and other similar implicit deep semantic feature expansion methods fail to reach their full potential on large evaluation benchmarks. We propose Unified Deep Semantic Expansion, our novel framework that unifies implicit and explicit semantic feature expansion techniques.

  Person re-identification (Re-ID) has achieved great success in the supervised scenario. It is difficult to directly transfer the supervised model to arbitrary unseen domains due to the model overfitting to the seen source domains. We propose MixNorm, which consists of domain-aware mix-normalization (DMN) and domain-ware center regularization (DCR)
