Abstract

Person re-identification (ReID) has witnessed great progress in recent years. Existing approaches are able to achieve significant performance on the single dataset but fail to generalize well on another datasets. The emerging problem mainly comes from style difference between two datasets. To address this problem, we propose a novel style transfer framework based on Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) to generate target-style images. Specifically, we get the style representation by calculating the Garm matrix of the three-channel original image, and then minimize the Euclidean distance of the style representation on different images transferred by the same generator while image generation. Finally, the labeled source dataset combined with the style-transferred images are all used to enhance the generalization ability of the ReID model. Experimental results suggest that the proposed strategy is very effective on the Market-1501 and DukeMTMC-reID.
