IIPA-Net: Joint Illumination-Invariant and Pose-Aligned Feature Learning for Person Reidentification

摘要

Person reidentification (re-id) has gained significant progress and aroused great interest in computer vision. However, due to the effect of weak illumination and poor alignment, person re-id is still a challenging task. Many previous works focus on either illumination enhancement methods or pose estimation. However, those methods are difficult to apply in real-world scenarios, which usually contain various interference factors. To improve the performance of re-id, we propose an Illumination-Invariant and Pose-Aligned Network (IIPA-Net). The illumination change is handled by a retinex decompose network, and the pose variation problem is solved by a local feature matching method. Based on the multimodal nature of a person, we propose a part attention module to optimize the global feature. Finally, a data-driven training strategy is proposed to train the proposed architecture effectively. Experiments show that the proposed framework outperforms other state-of-the-art approaches on both normal- and low-light datasets.
