Abstract

Unsupervised person reidentification (re-ID) is designed to deal with the problem that in industrial application scenarios, the consistent features of the same person cannot be fully mined due to the lack of annotated information in the collected image resources. Researchers focus on using pseudolabels to label images with the same clustering attributes, but traditional clustering methods are prone to generating noisy pseudolabels, which greatly reduce the accuracy of unsupervised person re-ID. We propose a method to refine pseudolabels by generating discriminative information based on channel partitioning. In the design process, the feature map is divided from the channel level, generating a proximity matrix by calculating the distance between the channel feature and the global feature, and select the most negative sample as the verification label to optimize the pseudolabel of the global feature. As a bidirectional guide, the global pseudolabel can be used to further smooth each channel label, keeping the consistency of channel features and global features in pseudolabel selection. This unique method of learning local features can link global information and channel information. Experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of our proposal on representative person re-ID datasets.
