Abstract:

The existing vehicle re-identification (Re-ID) methods mostly perform Re-ID between images marked with vehicle bounding boxes, but there are no vehicle bounding boxes in the real scene; at the same time, the complexity of environment and the similarity and diversity in appearance among vehicles can also cause a low accuracy of Re-ID. Therefore, this paper proposes a multi-camera vehicle Re-ID method combining vehicle detection and recognition for the unmarked original video in the field of public safety surveillance. First, the Binary-Single Shot MultiBox vehicle detection network is proposed to obtain the vehicle bounding boxes and generate candidate database online. Second, a multi-task Siamese vehicle recognition network is designed to improve the Re-ID accuracy. Finally, the “VeRi-1501” vehicle dataset is established, which expands the number of vehicle IDs and balances the number of images for each ID in the case of different cameras. The proposed method has achieved good results in the VeRi-1501 dataset and the actual traffic scene.
