Abstract

In practical scenarios, person re-identification tasks often face the problem of insufficient available pedestrian images. In response to this problem, a few-shot person re-identification method based on hybrid pooling fusion and Gaussian relation metric is proposed. Firstly, a hybrid pooling fusion method is proposed. In this method, max pooling and average pooling layers are introduced after each feature extraction layer, and the adaptive weight allocation mechanism is introduced in the fusion of post-pooling and non-pooling features, which realizes more representative pedestrian feature extraction. Secondly, a composite metric method of Gaussian relation metric is proposed in the metric module. This method realizes the comprehensive metric of pedestrian features in kernel space and relation level and improves the reliability of pedestrian similarity measurement. Finally, experiments on three small datasets, Market-Tiny, Duke-Tiny, and MSMT17-Tiny, demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
