• Abstract summary: This work focuses on the more practical Domain Generalized Person Re-identification (DG-ReID) problem. One promising research direction in DG-ReID is the use of implicit deep semantic feature expansion. We show that DEX and other similar implicit deep semantic feature expansion methods fail to reach their full potential on large evaluation benchmarks. We propose Unified Deep Semantic Expansion, our novel framework that unifies implicit and explicit semantic feature expansion techniques.

• Abstract: Supervised Person Re-identification (Person ReID) methods have achieved excellent performance when training and testing within one camera network. However, they usually suffer from considerable performance degradation when applied to different camera systems. In recent years, many Domain Adaptation Person ReID methods have been proposed, achieving impressive performance without requiring labeled data from the target domain. However, these approaches still need the unlabeled data of the target domain during the training process, making them impractical in many real-world scenarios. Our work focuses on the more practical Domain Generalized Person Re-identification (DG-ReID) problem. Given one or more source domains, it aims to learn a generalized model that can be applied to unseen target domains. One promising research direction in DG-ReID is the use of implicit deep semantic feature expansion, and our previous method, Domain Embedding Expansion (DEX), is one such example that achieves powerful results in DG-ReID. However, in this work we show that DEX and other similar implicit deep semantic feature expansion methods, due to limitations in their proposed loss function, fail to reach their full potential on large evaluation benchmarks as they have a tendency to saturate too early. Leveraging on this analysis, we propose Unified Deep Semantic Expansion, our novel framework that unifies implicit and explicit semantic feature expansion techniques in a single framework to mitigate this early over-fitting and achieve a new state-of-the-art (SOTA) in all DG-ReID benchmarks. Further, we apply our method on more general image retrieval tasks, also surpassing the current SOTA in all of these benchmarks by wide margins.

  Person ReID methods experience a significant drop in performance when trained and tested across different datasets. Our research reveals that domain generalization methods significantly underperform single-domain supervised methods on single dataset benchmarks. We propose a way to achieve ODG-ReID by creating deep feature diversity with self-ensembles.

  Single Domain Generalization tackles the problem of training a model on a single source domain so that it generalizes to any unseen target domain. We propose to leverage a pre-trained vision-language model to introduce semantic domain concepts via textual prompts. We achieve this via a semantic augmentation strategy acting on the features extracted by the detector backbone, as well as a text-based classification loss.

  Domain generalization (DG) has attracted much attention in person re-identification (ReID) recently.

We propose a simple and efficient domain-specific adaptive framework, and realize it with an adaptive normalization module.

  Domain generalization (DG) of machine learning algorithms is defined as their ability to learn a domain agnostic hypothesis from multiple training distributions. We find that a straightforward Empirical Risk Minimization (ERM) baseline consistently outperforms existing DG methods. We propose a classwise-DG formulation, where for each class, we randomly select one of the domains and keep it aside for testing.

  Person Re-Identification (ReID) across non-overlapping cameras is a challenging task. Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA) is a promising alternative, as it performs feature-learning adaptation from a model trained on a source to a target domain without identity-label annotation. In this paper, we propose a novel UDA-based ReID method that takes advantage of triplets of samples created by a new offline strategy.
