Unsupervised Salience Learning for Person Re-identification CVPR2013 Poster
Outline • Introduction • Method • Experiments • Conclusions
Introduction • Human eyes can recognize person identities based on some small salient regions.
Introduction • Person re-identification handles pedestrian matching and ranking across non-overlapping camera views. • viewpoint change and pose variation cause uncontrolled misalignment between images.
Introduction • Motivations : • 1. We can recognize persons across camera views from their local distinctive regions • 2. Human salience • 3. Distinct patches are considered as salient only when they are matched and distinct in both camera views
Method • Dense Correspondence • Unsupervised Salience Learning • Matching for Re-identification
Dense Correspondence • Features: • dense color histogram + dense SIFT • Adjacency constrained search: • simple patch matching
Adjacency constrained search Search set :
Adjacency constrained search Adjacency Searching:
Unsupervised Salience Learning • two methods for learning human salience: • K-Nearest Neighbor Salience (KNN) • One-Class SVM Salience (OCSVM)
Unsupervised Salience Learning • Definition: Salient regions are discriminative in making a person standing out from their companions, and reliable in finding the same person across camera views. • Assumption: fewer than half of the persons in a reference set share similar appearance if a region is salient. Hence, we set k = Nr/2. Nr is the number of images in reference set.
Matching for Re-identification • Bi-directional Weighted Matching • Complementary Comination
Experiments • Dataset : • VIPeR Dataset • ETHZ Dataset
Conclusions • 1. An unsupervised framework to extract distinctive features for person re-identification. • 2. Patch matching is utilized with adjacency constraint for handling the misalignment problem caused by viewpoint change and pose variation. • 3. Human salience is learned in an unsupervised way.
