Abstract:

An infrared image can effectively make up for the shortcomings of single-modality visible-light image data under low illumination conditions.Therefore,the study of cross-modality Visible-to-Infrared person re-identification will provide a strong technical support for constructing an intelligence video surveillance system under various lighting conditions.The key for cross-modality person re-identification is to construct a unified shared feature representation among multi-modal data,which needs to effectively distinguish the modal-shared/modal-specific feature information in the cross-modal data.Based on this,this paper proposes a cross-modality person re-identification method based on a hybrid dual-channel neural network.This method deeply analyzes the influence of the parameter-shared layer and the non-shared parameter layer on the cross-modality person re-identification model in the hybrid dual-channel neural network architecture.Besides cross-entropy loss,we also use the intra-class distribution and inter-class correlation constraints in the loss function to further improve the re-identification performance.In the optimization process,we effectively utilize the adaptive learning rate adjustment strategy to improve the feature learning capability of the neural network architecture.Experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.Also,we obtain a superior performance on the two widely used cross-modality person re-identification benchmark datasets,SYSU-MM01 and RegDB.
