Abstract
Unsupervised domain adaptive (UDA) person re-identification (re-ID) aims to adapt the model trained on a labeled source domain to an unlabeled target domain. For pseudo-label-based UDA methods, pseudo label noise is the main problem for model degradation and cross-camera problem is one main factor to cause this noise. In this paper, a novel camera penalty learning (CPL) UDA person re-ID method is proposed to address this problem. The possibility of selecting wrong negative sample and positive sample is relatively high in conventional triplet loss due to cross-camera problem. To alleviate this problem, a camera-penalty-based triplet loss (PTL) is designed. It adds camera-ID-penalty to conventional triplet loss to reduce sample distance imbalance, thereby improving the quality of pseudo labels. In order to reduce the dependence on pseudo labels and improve the robustness, a camera-penalty-neighborhood loss (PNL) is designed and combined with the push loss (PL). The PNL minimizes the distance between one image and its camera-penalty-weighted neighbors. The PL maximizes the distances among all images. The proposed CPL model achieves considerable results of 87.4%/70.7% and 75.2%/59.0% Rank-1/ mAP on DukeMTMC-reID-to-Market-1501 and Market-1501-to-DukeMTMC-reID UDA tasks.
