Abstract

Cross-camera pedestrian re-identification (re-ID) is of paramount importance for surveillance tasks. Although considerable progress has been made to improve the re-ID accuracy, real-time pedestrian detection and re-ID remains a challeging problem. In this work, first, we proposed an enhanced aggregated channel features (ACF+) based on the ACF pedestrian detector [1] for real-time pedestrian detection and re-ID; Second, to further improve the representation power of the combined multiple channel features, we proposed a novel hybrid distance metric learning method. Extensive experiments have been carried on two public datasets, including VIPeR, and PRID2011. The experimental results show that our proposed method can achieve state-of-the-art accuracy while being computational efficient for real-time applications. The proposed hybrid distance metric learning is general, thus can be applied to any metric learning approaches.
