• Abstract summary: view-decoupled transformer (VDT) is proposed as a simple yet effective framework for aerial-ground person re-identification. Two major components are designed in VDT to decouple view-related and view-unrelated features. In addition, we contribute a large-scale AGPReID dataset called CARGO, consisting of five/eight aerial/ground cameras, 5,000 identities, and 108,563 images.

• Abstract: Existing person re-identification methods have achieved remarkable advances in appearance-based identity association across homogeneous cameras, such as ground-ground matching. However, as a more practical scenario, aerial-ground person re-identification (AGPReID) among heterogeneous cameras has received minimal attention. To alleviate the disruption of discriminative identity representation by dramatic view discrepancy as the most significant challenge in AGPReID, the view-decoupled transformer (VDT) is proposed as a simple yet effective framework. Two major components are designed in VDT to decouple view-related and view-unrelated features, namely hierarchical subtractive separation and orthogonal loss, where the former separates these two features inside the VDT, and the latter constrains these two to be independent. In addition, we contribute a large-scale AGPReID dataset called CARGO, consisting of five/eight aerial/ground cameras, 5,000 identities, and 108,563 images. Experiments on two datasets show that VDT is a feasible and effective solution for AGPReID, surpassing the previous method on mAP/Rank1 by up to 5.0%/2.7% on CARGO and 3.7%/5.2% on AG-ReID, keeping the same magnitude of computational complexity.

  We propose a novel method named Dual-stream Reciprocal Disentanglement Learning (DRDL), which is quite efficient in learning domain-invariant features. In DRDL, two encoders are first constructed for id-related and id-unrelated feature extractions, which are respectively measured by their associated classifiers. Our proposed method is free from image generation, which not only reduces the computational complexity remarkably, but also removes redundant information from id-related features.

  This paper tackles the purely unsupervised person re-identification (Re-ID) problem that requires no annotations. We propose to split each single cluster into multiple proxies and each proxy represents the instances coming from the same camera. Based on the camera-aware proxies, we design both intra- and inter-camera contrastive learning components for our Re-ID model.

  Intra-camera supervision (ICS) for person re-identification (Re-ID) assumes that identity labels are independently annotated within each camera view. Lack of inter-camera labels makes the ICS Re-ID problem much more challenging than the fully supervised counterpart. Our approach performs even comparable to state-of-the-art fully supervised methods in two of the datasets.
