• Abstract summary: Unsupervised person re-identification (ReID) aims to train a feature extractor for identity retrieval without exploiting identity labels. Due to the blind trust in imperfect clustering results, the learning is inevitably misled by unreliable pseudo labels. Confidence-Guided pseudo Label (CGL) enables samples to approach not only the originally assigned centroid but other centroids that are potentially embedded with their identity information.

• Abstract: Unsupervised person re-identification (ReID) aims to train a feature extractor for identity retrieval without exploiting identity labels. Due to the blind trust in imperfect clustering results, the learning is inevitably misled by unreliable pseudo labels. Albeit the pseudo label refinement has been investigated by previous works, they generally leverage auxiliary information such as camera IDs and body part predictions. This work explores the internal characteristics of clusters to refine pseudo labels. To this end, Confidence-Guided Centroids (CGC) are proposed to provide reliable cluster-wise prototypes for feature learning. Since samples with high confidence are exclusively involved in the formation of centroids, the identity information of low-confidence samples, i.e., boundary samples, are NOT likely to contribute to the corresponding centroid. Given the new centroids, current learning scheme, where samples are enforced to learn from their assigned centroids solely, is unwise. To remedy the situation, we propose to use Confidence-Guided pseudo Label (CGL), which enables samples to approach not only the originally assigned centroid but other centroids that are potentially embedded with their identity information. Empowered by confidence-guided centroids and labels, our method yields comparable performance with, or even outperforms, state-of-the-art pseudo label refinement works that largely leverage auxiliary information.

  Real-world data often exhibit long-tailed distributions and label noise, significantly degrading generalization performance. Recent studies have focused on noisy sample selection methods that estimate the centroid of each class based on high-confidence samples within each target class. We present Distribution-aware Sample Selection and Contrastive Learning (DaSC) to generate enhanced class centroids.

  Unsupervised object re-identification targets at learning discriminative representations for object retrieval without any annotations. We propose to estimate pseudo label similarities between consecutive training generations with clustering consensus and refine pseudo labels with temporally propagated and ensembled pseudo labels. The proposed pseudo label refinery strategy is simple yet effective and can be seamlessly integrated into existing clustering-based unsupervised re-identification methods.

  We propose an unsupervised center-based clustering approach capable of progressively learning and exploiting the underlying re-id discriminative information. We call our framework Temporal Continuity based Unsupervised Learning (TCUL) Specifically, TCUL simultaneously does center based clustering of unlabeled (target) dataset and fine-tunes a convolutional neural network (CNN) pre-trained on irrelevant labeled (source) dataset. 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.
