Boosting Fisher vector based scoring functions for person re-identification

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose BFiVe, a new supervised algorithm for single-shot person re-identification.

• The descriptors are a set of compressed local Fisher vectors extracted from a coarse to fine image subdivision.

• In the training step each region gives rise to a learnt weak ranking function.

• The ranking function of the image gallery is obtained by a boosted selection of a weak learner subset.

• The matching rate at rank 1 on VIPeR is 38.9%, on 3DPes 41.7%, on PRID-2011 19.6%, and on i-LIDS-119 48.1%.
