Abstract:

Most cameras are equipped with infrared and visible light functions. Therefore, the application of re-identification methods will inevitably solve the problem of cross-modality person re-identification. To reduce the difference between infrared and visible light modes in cross-modality person re-identification and improve recognition accuracy, a four-stream cross-modality person re-identification method based on dual-intermediate modalities is proposed. Two lightweight networks generate dual-intermediate modalities images of visible light and infrared modes, respectively, inherit labels from visible light and infrared images, and reconstruct a network suitable for learning shared features of four modalities by splitting ResNet50 backbone network. Additionally, the problem of parameter sharing in four-stream networks is also explored, and the impact of the number of four modalities shared blocks on cross-modality person re-identification is analyzed. The experimental results show that when compared to HcTri, the proposed method increases Rank-1 and mAP by 2.38 and 4.64 percentage points, respectively, in global search mode on the SYSU-MM01 dataset, 6.24 and 6.77 percentage points, respectively, in indoor search mode.Compared to HcTri, the proposed method increases Rank-1, mAP and mINP by 2.52, 3.74, and 4.68 percentage points, respectively, in visible light to infrared search mode on the RegDB dataset, in the infrared to visible light search mode, Rank-1, mAP, and mINP increase by 2.70, 3.47, and 5.56 percentage points.

摘要:

摄像头大多配备红外和可见光功能,因此,重识别方法的应用必然要解决跨模态行人重识别问题。为缩小跨模态行人重识别中红外和可见光模态之间的差异,提高识别精度,提出基于双中间模态的四流跨模态行人重识别方法。由2个轻量级网络分别生成可见光模态和红外模态的双中间模态图像,并从可见光图像和红外图像中继承标签,通过拆分ResNet50骨干网络以重构适应于4种模态共享特征学习的网络。此外,还探讨了四流骨干网络中的参数共享问题,分析四模态共享块数量对于跨模态行人重识别的影响。实验结果表明,相比HcTri,该方法在SYSU-MM01数据集上的全局检索模式下的Rank-1和mAP分别提高2.38和4.64个百分点,在室内检索模式下分别提高6.24和6.77个百分点,在RegDB数据集上可见光至红外检索模式下的Rank-1、mAP和mINP分别提高2.52、3.74和4.68个百分点,在红外至可见光检索模式下的Rank-1、mAP和mINP分别分别提高2.70、3.47和5.56个百分点。
