• Abstract summary: We present a pseudo-pair based self-similarity learning approach for unsupervised person re-ID without human annotations. We propose to assign pseudo labels to images through the pairwise-guided similarity separation. It learns local discriminative features from individual images via intra-similarity, and discovers the patch correspondence across images via inter-similarity.

• Abstract: Person re-identification (re-ID) is of great importance to video surveillance systems by estimating the similarity between a pair of cross-camera person shorts. Current methods for estimating such similarity require a large number of labeled samples for supervised training. In this paper, we present a pseudo-pair based self-similarity learning approach for unsupervised person re-ID without human annotations. Unlike conventional unsupervised re-ID methods that use pseudo labels based on global clustering, we construct patch surrogate classes as initial supervision, and propose to assign pseudo labels to images through the pairwise gradient-guided similarity separation. This can cluster images in pseudo pairs, and the pseudos can be updated during training. Based on pseudo pairs, we propose to improve the generalization of similarity function via a novel self-similarity learning:it learns local discriminative features from individual images via intra-similarity, and discovers the patch correspondence across images via inter-similarity. The intra-similarity learning is based on channel attention to detect diverse local features from an image. The inter-similarity learning employs a deformable convolution with a non-local block to align patches for cross-image similarity. Experimental results on several re-ID benchmark datasets demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over the state-of-the-arts.

  Unsupervised person re-identification (Re-ID) aims to retrieve person images across cameras without any identity labels. Most clustering-based methods roughly divide image features into clusters and neglect the feature distribution noise caused by domain shifts among different cameras. We propose a novel label refinement framework with clustering intra-camera similarity.

  State-of-the-art unsupervised re-ID methods usually follow a clustering-based strategy. Forcing images to get closer to the centroid emphasizes the result of clustering. Previous methods utilize features obtained at different training iterations to represent one centroid. We propose an unsupervised re-ID approach with a learning strategy.

This avoids the tedious and costly process of exhaustively labelling person image/tracklet true matching pairs across camera views. Our method is particularly more robust against arbitrary noisy data of raw tracklets therefore scalable to learning discriminative models from unconstrained tracking data.

It exploits temporally continuous nature of images within-camera jointly with spatial similarity of feature maps across-cameras to generate reliable pseudo-labels for training a re-identification model.
