Abstract

Person re-identification (ReID), as a sub-direction of computer vision, has attracted more and more attention. In recent years, we have witnessed significant progress of person ReID driven by deep neural network architectures. In this paper, we introduce the progress of person ReID based on deep learning in recent years, including representation learning methods, metric learning methods, part-based methods, GAN-based methods, and video-based methods. The class of methods are summarised and analysed, and then we introduce the image-based datasets and the video-based datasets. We further discuss some of the current challenges and introduce some potential solutions in person ReID. Finally, we present the possible future directions of person ReID, such as collecting more abundant pedestrian datasets, adopting semi-supervised or unsupervised methods in person ReID. The purpose of this paper is to provide insights for the research on the person ReID and to present different methods of person ReID based on deep learning.
