Abstract: A simple global feature extracted by convolution neural network from the pedestrian image can not get satisfactory results in the complex person re-identification task. Local feature learning is helpful to obtain more abundant human features, but it often requires the human bodies in the images to have a good spatial alignment. Moreover, the features of each part of the human body are input into independent branches to learn local information, which ignores the correlation between the features of each part of the human body and limits the performance improvement of the model. Based on this background, a new multi-scale feature learning algorithm is proposed, which combines global and local feature learning to get better pedestrian representation and improve the recognition ability of the model in complex scenes. In order to realize the spatial correction and alignment of human feature maps, the feature alignment module is used to perform spatial transformation on the feature maps from different depths of the backbone network, and further enhances the generalization performance of the model. Compared with some popular methods, the proposed method achieves excellent performance on the large public person re-identification datasets.

摘要: 利用卷积神经网络对行人图像提取一个简单的全局特征,在复杂的行人重识别任务中无法获得令人满意的结果。局部特征学习的方式有助于获取更丰富的人体特征,但往往需要图像中的人体具有良好的空间对齐,而且,将人体各部分特征输入到独立的分支学习局部信息,忽略了人体各部分特征间的相关性,限制模型的性能提升。在此背景下,提出了一种新的多尺度特征学习算法,结合全局与局部特征学习得到更好的行人表示,提升复杂场景下模型的识别能力。对骨干网络不同深度输出的行人特征图,通过特征对齐模块对其执行空间变换,实现行人特征在空间上的矫正和对齐,进一步增强模型的泛化性能。在公开的大型行人重识别数据集上,与当前一些流行的方法进行了比较,验证了所提方法的有效性。
