• Abstract: Within the domain of person re-identification (ReID), partial ReID methods are considered mainstream, aiming to measure feature distances through comparisons of body parts between samples. However, in practice, previous methods often lack sufficient awareness of anatomical aspect of body parts, resulting in the failure to capture features of the same body parts across different samples. To address this issue, we introduce \textbf{Part Aware Transformer (PAFormer)}, a pose estimation based ReID model which can perform precise part-to-part comparison. In order to inject part awareness to pose tokens, we introduce learnable parameters called `pose token' which estimate the correlation between each body part and partial regions of the image. Notably, at inference phase, PAFormer operates without additional modules related to body part localization, which is commonly used in previous ReID methodologies leveraging pose estimation models. Additionally, leveraging the enhanced awareness of body parts, PAFormer suggests the use of a learning-based visibility predictor to estimate the degree of occlusion for each body part. Also, we introduce a teacher forcing technique using ground truth visibility scores which enables PAFormer to be trained only with visible parts. A set of extensive experiments show that our method outperforms existing approaches on well-known ReID benchmark datasets.

  "Divide and Fuse" strategy reconstructs human body parts independently before fusing them. Human Part Parametric Models (HPPM) independently reconstruct the mesh from a few shape and global-location parameters. A specially designed fusion module seamlessly integrates the reconstructed parts, even when only a few are visible.

  Our proposed method BoPR, the Body-aware Part Regressor, first extracts features of both the body and part regions using an attention-guided mechanism. We then utilize these features to encode extra part-body dependency for per-part regression, with part features as queries and body feature as a reference.

  Occluded person re-identification (ReID) is a person retrieval task which aims at matching occluded person images with holistic ones. Part-based methods have been shown beneficial as they offer fine-grained information and are well suited to represent partially visible human bodies. We propose BPBreID, a body part-based ReID model for solving the above issues.

  We introduce an alignment scheme in transformer architecture for the first time. We propose the auto-aligned transformer (AAformer) to automatically locate both the human parts and nonhuman ones at patch level. AAformer integrates the part alignment into the self-attention and the output [PART]s can be directly used as part features for retrieval.
