New OAPR method uses rare attributes for person retrieval in surveillance

Researchers have introduced Open-Attribute Person Retrieval (OAPR), a new method for finding individuals in surveillance footage based on specific, often rare, attributes rather than just common descriptors. This approach is designed to handle attributes like 'holding a weapon' or 'lying on the ground' that can significantly narrow down search results. To support OAPR, a new dataset called EPAD was created, featuring over 267,000 images and 65 distinct attributes. The proposed GAP-CLIP framework, a lightweight CLIP-based system, demonstrates strong performance in retrieving individuals based on these open-ended attribute queries, including those not seen during training. AI

IMPACT This research could improve the efficiency and effectiveness of person identification in surveillance systems by enabling more precise attribute-based searches.

    Open-Attribute Person Retrieval: Finding People Through Distinctive and Novel Attributes

    arXiv:2508.01389v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Person retrieval in surveillance videos often depends on attributes described by witnesses or operators. However, the most useful cues in practice are not always common appearance descriptions (e.g., gender, clothing color), but…
