【论文笔记】Improving Person Re-identification by Attribute and Identity Learning

Deep person re-identification is the task of recognizing a person across different camera views in a surveillance system. It is a challenging problem due to variations in lighting, pose, and occlusion. To address this problem, researchers have proposed various deep learning models that can learn discriminative features for person re-identification. However, achieving state-of-the-art performance often requires carefully designed training strategies and model architectures. One approach to improving the performance of deep person re-identification is to use a "bag of tricks" consisting of various techniques that have been shown to be effective in other computer vision tasks. These techniques include data augmentation, label smoothing, mixup, warm-up learning rates, and more. By combining these techniques, researchers have been able to achieve significant improvements in re-identification accuracy. In addition to using a bag of tricks, it is also important to establish a strong baseline for deep person re-identification. A strong baseline provides a foundation for future research and enables fair comparisons between different methods. A typical baseline for re-identification consists of a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) trained on a large-scale dataset such as Market-1501 or DukeMTMC-reID. The baseline should also include appropriate data preprocessing, such as resizing and normalization, and evaluation metrics, such as mean average precision (mAP) and cumulative matching characteristic (CMC) curves. Overall, combining a bag of tricks with a strong baseline can lead to significant improvements in deep person re-identification performance. This can have important practical applications in surveillance systems, where accurate person recognition is essential for ensuring public safety.
