Title
Joint Pyramid Feature Representation Network For Vehicle Re-Identification
Abstract
Vehicle re-identification (Re-ID) technology plays an important role in the intelligent transportation system for smart city. Due to various uncertain factors in the real-world scenarios, (e.g., resolution variation, viewpoint variation, illumination changes, occlusion, etc., vehicle Re-ID is a very challenging task. To resist the adverse effect of resolution variation, a joint pyramid feature representation network (JPFRN) for vehicle Re-ID is proposed in this paper. Based on the consideration that various convolution blocks with different depths hold different resolutions and semantic information of the vehicle image, the proposed JPFRN method employs a base network to obtain multi-resolution vehicle features in the first stage. Then, a pyramid feature representation scheme is developed to reconstruct and integrate the obtained multi-resolution vehicle features together. Finally, these pyramid features are jointly represented for learning a more discriminative feature under the supervision of joint Triplet loss and softmax loss. Extensive experimental results on two commonly-used vehicle databases (i.e., VehicleID and VeRi) show that the proposed JPFRN is superior to multiple recently-developed vehicle Re-ID methods.
