Abstract

Person re-identification (re-ID), aiming to match a target person in a series of cross-camera images, is a challenging problem when people change their clothes. Essentially, different clothes are used to learn distinctive features usually, resulting in a failed identification. To mitigate this issue, we propose a Clothes-Relevant information Erasure (CRE) module to drive the model to adaptively learn clothes-irrelevant cues by utilizing the person's semantic information to eliminate the clothes-relevant features. Furthermore, we introduce a Body Shape-Guided Attention (BSGA) module so that the model can learn richer and more discriminative features. Compared to the state-of-the-art baselines, the experimental results on three benchmark datasets show the effectiveness and superiority of our method in the clothes-changing re-ID task.
