• Abstract: Domain Generalized person Re-identification (DG Re-ID) is a challenging task, where models are trained on source domains but tested on unseen target domains. Although previous pure vision-based models have achieved significant progress, the performance remains further improved. Recently, Vision-Language Models (VLMs) present outstanding generalization capabilities in various visual applications. However, directly adapting a VLM to Re-ID shows limited generalization improvement. This is because the VLM only produces with global features that are insensitive to ID nuances. To tacle this problem, we propose a CLIP-based multi-grained vision-language alignment framework in this work. Specifically, several multi-grained prompts are introduced in language modality to describe different body parts and align with their counterparts in vision modality. To obtain fine-grained visual information, an adaptively masked multi-head self-attention module is employed to precisely extract specific part features. To train the proposed module, an MLLM-based visual grounding expert is employed to automatically generate pseudo labels of body parts for supervision. Extensive experiments conducted on both single- and multi-source generalization protocols demonstrate the superior performance of our approach. The implementation code will be released at https://github.com/RikoLi/MUVA.

We show that WIDIn can be applied to both pretrained vision-language models like CLIP, and separately trained uni-modal models like MoCo and BERT.
