Learning Resolution-Adaptive Representations for Cross-Resolution Person Re-Identification

The cross-resolution person re-identification (CRReID) problem aims to match low-resolution (LR) query identity images against high resolution (HR) gallery images. It is a challenging and practical problem since the query images often suffer from resolution degradation due to the different capturing conditions from real-world cameras. To address this problem, state-of-the-art (SOTA) solutions either learn the resolution-invariant representation or adopt super-resolution (SR) module to recover the missing information from the LR query. This paper explores an alternative SR-free paradigm to directly compare HR and LR images via a dynamic metric, which is adaptive to the resolution of a query image. We realize this idea by learning resolution-adaptive representations for cross-resolution comparison. Specifically, we propose two resolution-adaptive mechanisms. The first one disentangles the resolution-specific information into different sub-vectors in the penultimate layer of the deep neural networks, and thus creates a varying-length representation. To better extract resolution-dependent information, we further propose to learn resolution-adaptive masks for intermediate residual feature blocks. A novel progressive learning strategy is proposed to train those masks properly. These two mechanisms are combined to boost the performance of CRReID. Experimental results show that the proposed method is superior to existing approaches and achieves SOTA performance on multiple CRReID benchmarks.
