Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel unsupervised color spatial pyramid matching (UCSPM) approach for person re-identification. It is well motivated by our study on spatial pyramid to build effective structural object representation for person re-identification. Through the combination of illumination invariance color feature, UCSPM can well cope with the variations of viewpoint, illumination and pose. First, local superpixel regions are divided to accurately represent the color feature. Second, human body are divided into increasing fine vertical sub-regions to construct the spatial pyramid matching scheme. Third, the color feature and its spatial distribution information are used in a pyramid match kernel for calculating the similarity between person and person. The effectiveness of our approach is validated on the VIPeR dataset and CUHK campus dataset. Comparing with other approaches, our UCSPM improves the best unsupervised rank-1 matching rate on the VIPeR dataset by 3.08% with only one kind of feature—color.
