Description
Summary:Person re-identification (Re-ID) has become a hot topic in both research and industry. We joined in a person Re-ID challenge of the First National Artificial Intelligence Challenge (China, 2019) and found some model designs and training tricks work great or not on a super big private dataset. In this paper, we propose a model that combines the most effective designs, including multi-scale, multi-branch and attention mechanism, and report training tricks that are no less or even more important in improving person Re-ID performance. We analyze four commonly used public datasets: Market1501, DukeMTMC-ReID, CUHK03, and MSMT17, and achieve the state-of-the-art performance. Besides, we analyze and confirm the effectiveness of the designs by ablation studies. We also share strategies that play a key role in the challenge and experience of model designs that do not generalize well on large datasets.
