• Abstract: Most gait recognition methods exploit spatial-temporal representations from static appearances and dynamic walking patterns. However, we observe that many part-based methods neglect representations at boundaries. In addition, the phenomenon of overfitting on training data is relatively common in gait recognition, which is perhaps due to insufficient data and low-informative gait silhouettes. Motivated by these observations, we propose a novel mask-based regularization method named ReverseMask. By injecting perturbation on the feature map, the proposed regularization method helps convolutional architecture learn the discriminative representations and enhances generalization. Also, we design an Inception-like ReverseMask Block, which has three branches composed of a global branch, a feature dropping branch, and a feature scaling branch. Precisely, the dropping branch can extract fine-grained representations when partial activations are zero-outed. Meanwhile, the scaling branch randomly scales the feature map, keeping structural information of activations and preventing overfitting. The plug-and-play Inception-like ReverseMask block is simple and effective to generalize networks, and it also improves the performance of many state-of-the-art methods. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the ReverseMask regularization help baseline achieves higher accuracy and better generalization. Moreover, the baseline with Inception-like Block significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods on the two most popular datasets, CASIA-B and OUMVLP. The source code will be released.

  Image-level weakly-supervised segmentation (WSSS) reduces the usually vast data annotation cost by surrogate segmentation masks during training. Our work is based on two techniques for improving CAMs; importance sampling, which is a substitute for GAP, and the feature similarity loss. We reformulate both techniques based on binomial posteriors of multiple independent binary problems. This has two benefits; their performance is improved and they become more general, resulting in an add-on method that can boost virtually any WSSS method.

  Existing methods mainly address this issue by employing body clues provided by an extra network to distinguish the visible part. We propose a novel Dynamic Prototype Mask (DPM) based on two self-evident prior knowledge. Under this condition, the occluded representation could be well aligned in a selected subspace spontaneously.

  Inpainting arbitrary missing regions is challenging because learning valid features for various masked regions is nontrivial.

Our framework is validated both quantitatively and qualitatively via extensive experiments on three public datasets.

We also show that the choice of mask-head architecture alone can lead to SOTA results on the partially supervised COCO benchmark without the need of specialty modules or losses proposed by prior literature.
