Auto-TLDR; Part-Aware Learning for Partial Person Re-identification
Abstract Slides Poster Similar
Partial person re-identification (re-ID) refers to re-identify a person through occluded images. It suffers from two major challenges, i.e., insufficient training data and incomplete probe image. In this paper, we introduce an automatic data augmentation module and a part-aware learning method for partial re-identification. On the one hand, we adopt the data augmentation to enhance the training data and help learns more stabler partial features. On the other hand, we intuitively find that the partial person images usually have fixed percentages of parts, therefore, in partial person re-id task, the probe image could be cropped from the pictures and divided into several different partial types following fixed ratios. Based on the cropped images, we propose the Cropping Type Consistency (CTC) loss to classify the cropping types of partial images. Moreover, in order to help the network better fit the generated and cropped data, we incorporate the Block Attention Mechanism (BAM) into the framework for attentive learning. To enhance the retrieval performance in the inference stage, we implement cropping on gallery images according to the predicted types of probe partial images. Through calculating feature distances between the partial image and the cropped holistic gallery images, we can recognize the right person from the gallery. To validate the effectiveness of our approach, we conduct extensive experiments on the partial re-ID benchmarks and achieve state-of-the-art performance.
