Researchers develop new methods for person re-identification despite clothing changes

Two new research papers tackle the challenge of clothes-changing person re-identification (CC-ReID), a problem where individuals need to be recognized despite variations in their attire. The first paper, Ortho-ReID, introduces a transformer-based method to model a low-rank clothing subspace and extract clothing-invariant representations through geometric constraints. The second paper, Causal Clothes-Invariant Learning (CCIL), proposes a causality-based approach to prevent models from learning spurious correlations between clothing and identity, thereby improving generalization to unseen clothing. AI

IMPACT These papers advance techniques for person re-identification by addressing the challenge of clothing variations, potentially improving surveillance and security systems.

    Causal Clothes-Invariant Feature Learning for Cloth-Changing Person Re-ID

    arXiv:2305.06145v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In cloth-changing person re-identification (CCReID), it is critical to learn clothes-invariant feature, which can provide discriminative ID features that remain robust against clothing changes. However, a spurious correlation cu…
