Abstract | Person re-identification has a wide range of applications, and many state-of-the-art methods are proposed to solve the problem under specific scenarios. However, it is still a challenging issue because of the large variance in practical applications, such as pose variations, misalignment, and image noises. In this paper, Parallelly Conquer Net (PCNet) is proposed to deal with large variance in a parallel manner. PCNet consists of three module: Pose Adaptation Module(PAM), Globel Alignment Module(GAM), and Pixel-Wised Attention Module(PWAM). Each module is designed to deal with a sub-variance independently. Furthermore, the generated features are aggregated by parallel branches to utilize complementary information among them. Extensive experiments on three benchmarks (Market-1501, DukeMTMC-reID, and CUHK03) demonstrate the effectiveness of the method. The results show that PCNet can significantly improve the performance of person re-identification. |
