description Learning about appearance embedding is of great importance for a variety of different computer-vision applications, which has prompted a surge in person re-identification (Re-ID) papers. The aim of these papers has been to identify an individual over a set of non-overlapping cameras. Despite recent advances in RGB–RGB Re-ID approaches with deep-learning architectures, the approach fails to consistently work well when there are low resolutions in dark conditions. The introduction of different sensors (i.e., RGB–D and infrared (IR)) enables the capture of appearances even in dark conditions. Recently, a lot of research has been dedicated to addressing the issue of finding appearance embedding in dark conditions using different advanced camera sensors. In this paper, we give a comprehensive overview of existing Re-ID approaches that utilize the additional information from different sensor-based methods to address the constraints faced by RGB camera-based person Re-ID systems. Although there are a number of survey papers that consider either the RGB–RGB or Visible-IR scenarios, there are none that consider both RGB–D and RGB–IR. In this paper, we present a detailed taxonomy of the existing approaches along with the existing RGB–D and RGB–IR person Re-ID datasets. Then, we summarize the performance of state-of-the-art methods on several representative RGB–D and RGB–IR datasets. Finally, future directions and current issues are considered for improving the different sensor-based person Re-ID systems.
