• Abstract: Person re-identification (Re-ID) is a crucial task in surveillance and human behavior analysis, often used in public spaces such as transport hubs. Traditional RGB-based Re-ID methods raise privacy concerns and are highly sensitive to lighting variations and occlusion. In this paper, we propose a novel Re-ID approach that leverages depth images, which inherently obscures facial and other identifiable features, making it a privacy-preserving solution. Our method addresses the association problem between multiple views of individuals by applying the Hungarian algorithm, optimizing the matching process through minimization of the global cost across the distance matrix. We further enhance the approach by introducing temporal sequences of frames as input to a Transformer encoder architecture, which exploits both RGB and depth modalities. This architecture captures dynamic movement patterns, improving feature extraction and re-identification accuracy. Additionally, we employ batch hard triplet loss to enhance discriminative feature learning by focusing on the hardest samples. We evaluate both depth-only and RGB-D models on several top-view datasets, including TVPR2, GODPR, and BIWI RGBD-ID. Our results demonstrate that depth-only re-identification can achieve competitive performance compared to state-of-the-art methods, as measured by standard metrics such as Cumulative Matching Characteristics (CMC) and Mean Average Precision (mAP), while prioritizing privacy preservation.

  2D face recognition encounters challenges in unconstrained environments due to varying illumination, occlusion, and pose. Recent studies focus on RGB-D face recognition to improve robustness by incorporating depth information. In this work, we first construct a diverse depth dataset generated by 3D Morphable Models for depth model pre-training. Then, we propose a domain-independent pre-training framework that utilizes readily available pre-trained RGB and depth models to separately perform face recognition without needing additional paired data for retraining.

  Person re-identification is vital for monitoring and tracking crowd movement to enhance public security. In this work, we propose a plausible solution by developing effective occlusion detection and reconstruction framework for RGB images/videos consisting of Deep Neural Networks. Specifically, a CNN-based occlusion detection model classifies individual input frames, followed by a Conv-LSTM and Autoencoder to reconstruct the occluded pixels corresponding to the occluded frames for sequential (video) and non-sequential (image) data.

  Depth information has proven to be a useful cue in the semantic segmentation of RGBD images for providing a geometric counterpart to the RGB representation. Most existing works simply assume that depth measurements are accurate and well-aligned with the RGB pixels and models the problem as a cross-modal feature fusion. In this paper, we propose a unified and efficient Crossmodality Guided to not only effectively recalibrate RGB feature responses, but also to distill accurate depth information via multiple stages and aggregate the two recalibrated representations alternatively.
