New LENS method improves attribute-based person retrieval on unseen cameras

Researchers have developed LENS, a new method for attribute-based person retrieval in surveillance imagery, particularly effective on unseen cameras. LENS combines fine-tuned DINOv3 and CLIP models with a distilled student model. It improves retrieval metrics by regularizing attribute groups, scoring gallery images based on the exact query's log-likelihood, and smoothing gallery logits using DINOv3 appearance features. AI

IMPACT Enhances the accuracy of person retrieval systems in surveillance, particularly in dynamic environments with varying camera conditions.

    LENS: Likelihood Evaluation and Neighbor Smoothing for Attribute-Based Person Retrieval on Unseen Cameras

    arXiv:2610.33641v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Attribute-based person retrieval ranks surveillance images from a binary query of semantic attributes, but mean Average Attribute Degree of Match (mADM) drops on unseen cameras as predicted probabilities shift. Common pipelines rank…
