• Abstract summary: We propose to learn the discriminative pose feature beyond the appearance feature for video retrieval. To learn the pose feature, we first detect the pedestrian pose in each frame through an off-the-shelf pose detector. We then exploit a recurrent graph convolutional network (RGCN) to learn the node embeddings of the temporal pose graph.

• Abstract: Existing methods for video-based person re-identification (ReID) mainly learn the appearance feature of a given pedestrian via a feature extractor and a feature aggregator. However, the appearance models would fail when different pedestrians have similar appearances. Considering that different pedestrians have different walking postures and body proportions, we propose to learn the discriminative pose feature beyond the appearance feature for video retrieval. Specifically, we implement a two-branch architecture to separately learn the appearance feature and pose feature, and then concatenate them together for inference. To learn the pose feature, we first detect the pedestrian pose in each frame through an off-the-shelf pose detector, and construct a temporal graph using the pose sequence. We then exploit a recurrent graph convolutional network (RGCN) to learn the node embeddings of the temporal pose graph, which devises a global information propagation mechanism to simultaneously achieve the neighborhood aggregation of intra-frame nodes and message passing among inter-frame graphs. Finally, we propose a dual-attention method consisting of node-attention and time-attention to obtain the temporal graph representation from the node embeddings, where the self-attention mechanism is employed to learn the importance of each node and each frame. We verify the proposed method on three video-based ReID datasets, i.e., Mars, DukeMTMC and iLIDS-VID, whose experimental results demonstrate that the learned pose feature can effectively improve the performance of existing appearance models.

  Person re-identification (ReID) aims at retrieving a person from images captured by different cameras. It has been proved that using local features together with global feature of person image could help to give robust feature representations for person retrieval. We propose a pose guided graph attention network, a multi-branch architecture consisting of one branch for global feature, one branch for mid-granular body features and one branch for fine-granular key point features.

  Video-based person re-identification (re-ID) is an important technique in visual surveillance systems which aims to match video snippets of people captured by different cameras. Existing methods are mostly based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs), whose building blocks either process local neighbor pixels at a time, or, when 3D convolutions are used to model temporal information, suffer from the misalignment problem caused by person movement. In this paper, we propose to overcome the limitations of normal convolutions with a human-oriented graph method. Specifically, features located at person joint keypoints are extracted and connected as a spatial-temporal graph
