Weakly Supervised Cross-Domain Person Re-Identification Algorithm Based on Small Sample Learning

This paper proposes a weakly supervised cross-domain person re-identification (Re-ID) method based on small sample data. In order to reduce the cost of data collection and annotation, the model design focuses on extracting and abstracting the information contained in the data under limited conditions. In this paper, we focus on the problems of strong data dependence, weak cross-domain capability and low accuracy in Re-ID in weakly supervised scenarios. Our contributions are as follows: first, we implement a joint training framework with the help of small sample learning and cross-domain migration for Re-ID. Second, with the help of residual compensation and fusion attention module, the RCFA module is designed, and the model framework is built on this basis to improve the cross-domain ability of the model. Third, to solve the problem of low accuracy caused by insufficient data coverage of small samples, a fusion of shallow features and deep features is designed to enable the model to weighted fusion of shallow detail information and deep semantic information. Finally, by selecting different camera images in Market1501 dataset and DukeMTMC-reID dataset as small samples, respectively, and introducing another dataset data for joint training, we demonstrate the feasibility of this joint training framework, which can perform weakly supervised cross-domain Re-ID based on small sample data.
