Recently, ZTE has made a breakthrough in Person Re-identification (abbreviated as ReID) technology, and it has been used in three mainstream ReID data sets: Market1501, DukeMTMC-reID and CUHK03 (these three data sets are the most influential multi-target multi-camera pedestrian tracking data sets with large-scale marking in the industry). In one fell swoop, Rank-1 (the first hit rate) and mAP (the average precision) on the three data sets have been greatly improved, ranking first and setting a new world record.
Re-recognition of pedestrians refers to searching for the same pedestrian in a multi-camera network with non-overlapping perspectives, and confirming whether the pedestrian targets photographed by cameras in different positions at different times are the same person, that is, using computer vision algorithm to solve the identification and retrieval of pedestrians in cross-camera and cross-scene situations. This technology is a great leap in image perception by machine learning after face recognition technology. It can recognize pedestrians according to their wearing, posture, hairstyle, behavior and other information, and shorten the traditional time of manually viewing videos and locking the tracks of key personnel from dozens of days to minutes.
