The role of person re-identification has increased in the recent years due to the large camera networks employed in surveillance systems. The goal in this case is to identify individuals that have been previously identified in a different camera. Even though several approaches have been proposed, there are still challenges to be addressed, such as illumination changes, pose variation, low acquisition quality, appearance modeling and the management of the large number of subjects being monitored by the surveillance system. The present work tackles the last problem by developing an indexing structure based on inverted lists and a predominance filter descriptor with the aim of ranking candidates with more probability of being the target search person. With this initial ranking, a more strong classification is done by means of a mean Riemann covariance method, which is based on a appearance strategy. Experimental results show that the proposed indexing structure returns an accurate shortlist containing the most likely candidates, and that manifold appearance model is able to set the correct candidate among the initial ranks in the identification process. The proposed method is comparable to other state-of-the-art approaches.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
