RESUMO
Clothing change person re-identification (CC-ReID) aims to match images of the same person wearing different clothes across diverse scenes. Leveraging biological features or clothing labels, existing CC-ReID methods have demonstrated promising performance. However, current research primarily focuses on supervised CC-ReID methods, which require a substantial number of manually annotated labels. To tackle this challenge, we propose a novel clothing-invariant contrastive learning (CICL) framework for unsupervised CC-ReID task. Firstly, to obtain clothing change positive pairs at a low computational cost, we propose a random clothing augmentation (RCA) method. RCA initially partitions clothing regions based on parsing images, then applies random augmentation to different clothing regions, ultimately generating clothing change positive pairs to facilitate clothing-invariant learning. Secondly, to generate pseudo-labels strongly correlated with identity in an unsupervised manner, we design semantic fusion clustering (SFC), which enhances identity-related information through semantic fusion. Additionally, we develop a semantic alignment contrastive loss (SAC loss) to encourages the model to learn features strongly correlated with identity and enhances the model's robustness to clothing changes. Unlike existing optimization methods that forcibly bring closer clusters with different pseudo-labels, SAC loss aligns the clustering results of real image features with those generated by SFC, forming a mutually reinforcing scheme with SFC. Experimental results on multiple CC-ReID datasets demonstrate that the proposed CICL not only outperforms existing unsupervised methods but can even achieves competitive performance with supervised CC-ReID methods.

The current unsupervised domain adaptation person re-identification (re-ID) method aims to solve the domain shift problem and applies prior knowledge learned from labelled data in the source domain to unlabelled data in the target domain for person re-ID. At present, the unsupervised domain adaptation person re-ID method based on pseudolabels has obtained state-of-the-art performance. This method obtains pseudolabels via a clustering algorithm and uses these pseudolabels to optimize a CNN model. Although it achieves optimal performance, the model cannot be further optimized due to the existence of noisy labels in the clustering process. In this paper, we propose a stable median centre clustering (SMCC) for the unsupervised domain adaptation person re-ID method. SMCC adaptively mines credible samples for optimization purposes and reduces the impact of label noise and outliers on training to improve the performance of the resulting model. In particular, we use the intracluster distance confidence measure of the sample and its K-reciprocal nearest neighbour cluster proportion in the clustering process to select credible samples and assign different weights according to the intracluster sample distance confidence of samples to measure the distances between different clusters, thereby making the clustering results more robust. The experiments show that our SMCC method can select credible and stable samples for training and improve performance of the unsupervised domain adaptation model.

Active learning aims to select the most valuable unlabelled samples for annotation. In this paper, we propose a redundancy removal adversarial active learning (RRAAL) method based on norm online uncertainty indicator, which selects samples based on their distribution, uncertainty, and redundancy. RRAAL includes a representation generator, state discriminator, and redundancy removal module (RRM). The purpose of the representation generator is to learn the feature representation of a sample, and the state discriminator predicts the state of the feature vector after concatenation. We added a sample discriminator to the representation generator to improve the representation learning ability of the generator and designed a norm online uncertainty indicator (Norm-OUI) to provide a more accurate uncertainty score for the state discriminator. In addition, we designed an RRM based on a greedy algorithm to reduce the number of redundant samples in the labelled pool. The experimental results on four datasets show that the state discriminator, Norm-OUI, and RRM can improve the performance of RRAAL, and RRAAL outperforms the previous state-of-the-art active learning methods.
