• Abstract: Unsupervised person re-identification aims to retrieve images of a specified person without identity labels. Many recent unsupervised Re-ID approaches adopt clustering-based methods to measure cross-camera feature similarity to roughly divide images into clusters. They ignore the feature distribution discrepancy induced by camera domain gap, resulting in the unavoidable performance degradation. Camera information is usually available, and the feature distribution in the single camera usually focuses more on the appearance of the individual and has less intra-identity variance. Inspired by the observation, we introduce a \textbf{C}amera-\textbf{A}ware \textbf{L}abel \textbf{R}efinement~(CALR) framework that reduces camera discrepancy by clustering intra-camera similarity. Specifically, we employ intra-camera training to obtain reliable local pseudo labels within each camera, and then refine global labels generated by inter-camera clustering and train the discriminative model using more reliable global pseudo labels in a self-paced manner. Meanwhile, we develop a camera-alignment module to align feature distributions under different cameras, which could help deal with the camera variance further. Extensive experiments validate the superiority of our proposed method over state-of-the-art approaches. The code is accessible at https://github.com/leeBooMla/CALR.

  We introduce a camera-driven curriculum learning framework that leverages camera labels to transfer knowledge from source to target domains progressively. For each curriculum sequence, we generate pseudo labels of person images in a target domain to train a reID model in a supervised way. We have observed that the pseudo labels are highly biased toward cameras, suggesting that person images obtained from the same camera are likely to have the same pseudo labels, even for different IDs.

  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.

  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.
