Abstract
In large-scale camera networks, label information for person re-identification is usually not available under a large amount of cameras due to expensive human labor efforts. Semi-supervised learning could be employed to train a discriminative classifier by using unlabeled data and unmatched image pairs (negatives) generated from non-overlapping camera views, but existing methods suffer from the problem of imbalanced unlabeled data. In this context, this paper proposes a novel semi-supervised region metric learning method to improve person re-identification performance under imbalanced unlabeled data. Firstly, instead of seeking for matched image pairs (positives) from the unlabeled data, we propose to estimate positive neighbors by label propagation with cross person score distribution alignment. Secondly, multiple positive regions are generated using sets of positive neighbors to learn a discriminative region-to-point metric. Experimental results demonstrate that the superiority of the proposed method over existing unsupervised, semi-supervised and person re-identification methods.
