New framework improves unsupervised visible-infrared person re-identification

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new framework for unsupervised visible-infrared person re-identification, addressing limitations in existing cross-modality association methods. The proposed approach utilizes modality-unified prototypes to optimize similarity relations both within and across modalities, enhancing modality invariance. This method further refines instance-prototype relationships through prototype-guided self-distillation, creating a simple yet effective model that has shown strong performance on standard benchmarks.

    Prototype Matters: Modality-unified Prototype Self-distillation for Unsupervised Visible-infrared Person Re-identification

    arXiv:2609.11514v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Estimating reliable cross-modality association is crucial to unsupervised visible-infrared person re-ID. While optimal transport is shown to be a practical solution for cross-modality association, it suffers from the rigidness of ha…
