Learning Efficient Image Representation for Person Re-Identification

Color names based image representation is successfully used in person re-identification, due to the advantages of being compact, intuitively understandable as well as being robust to photometric variance. However, there exists the diversity between underlying distribution of color names' RGB values and that of image pixels' RGB values, which may lead to inaccuracy when directly comparing them in Euclidean space. In this paper, we propose a new method named soft Gaussian mapping (SGM) to address this problem. We model the discrepancies between color names and pixels using a Gaussian and utilize the inverse of covariance matrix to bridge the gap between them. Based on SGM, an image could be converted to several soft Gaussian maps. In each soft Gaussian map, we further seek to establish stable and robust descriptors within a local region through a max pooling operation. Then, a robust image representation based on color names is obtained by concatenating the statistical descriptors in each stripe. When labeled data are available, one discriminative subspace projection matrix is learned to build efficient representations of an image via cross-view coupling learning. Experiments on the public datasets - VIPeR, PRID450S and CUHK03, demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.
