• Abstract summary: Domain generalization (DG) has attracted much attention in person re-identification (ReID) recently. Existing methods usually need the source domains to be labeled, which could be a significant burden for practical ReID tasks. We propose a simple and efficient domain-specific adaptive framework, and realize it with an adaptive normalization module.

• Abstract: Domain generalization (DG) has attracted much attention in person re-identification (ReID) recently. It aims to make a model trained on multiple source domains generalize to an unseen target domain. Although achieving promising progress, existing methods usually need the source domains to be labeled, which could be a significant burden for practical ReID tasks. In this paper, we turn to investigate unsupervised domain generalization for ReID, by assuming that no label is available for any source domains. To address this challenging setting, we propose a simple and efficient domain-specific adaptive framework, and realize it with an adaptive normalization module designed upon the batch and instance normalization techniques. In doing so, we successfully yield reliable pseudo-labels to implement training and also enhance the domain generalization capability of the model as required. In addition, we show that our framework can even be applied to improve person ReID under the settings of supervised domain generalization and unsupervised domain adaptation, demonstrating competitive performance with respect to relevant methods. Extensive experimental study on benchmark datasets is conducted to validate the proposed framework. A significance of our work lies in that it shows the potential of unsupervised domain generalization for person ReID and sets a strong baseline for the further research on this topic.

  Causality has been combined with machine learning to produce robust representations for domain generalization. We make a different attempt by leveraging the demonstration data distribution to discover causal features for a domain generalizable policy. We design a novel framework, called DIGIC, to identify the causal features by finding the direct cause of the expert action from the demonstration data distribution.

  Domain generalization person re-identification (DG Re-ID) aims to directly deploy a model trained on the source domain to the unseen target domain with good generalization. In the existing DG Re-ID methods, invariant operations are effective in extracting domain generalization features. An Attention-aware Multi-operation Strategery (AMS) for DG Re-ID is proposed to extract more generalized features.

  We propose a novel framework via joint domain-aware labels and dual-classifier to produce high-quality pseudo-labels. To predict accurate pseudo-labels under domain shift, a domain-aware pseudo-labeling module is developed. Also, considering inconsistent goals between generalization and pseudo-labeling, we employ a dual-classifier to independently perform pseudo-labeling and domain generalization in the training process.
