Abstract

The extensive Re-ID progress in the RGB modality has obtained encouraging performance. However, in practice, the usual surveillance system is automatically switched from visible modality to infrared modality at night. The task of infrared-visible modality-based cross-modal person Re-ID (IV-Re-ID) is required. However, the existing substantial semantic gap between the visible images and the infrared images results in the IV-Re-ID still challenging. In this paper, a Cross-modal Channel Exchange Network (CmCEN) is proposed. In the CmCEN, a channel exchange network is first designed. The magnitude of Batch-Normalization (BN) is calculated to adaptively and dynamically exchange discriminative information between two different modalities sub-networks. Then, a discriminator with adversarial loss is designed to guide the network to learn the similarity distribution in the latent domain space. The evaluation results on two popular benchmark datasets demonstrated the effectiveness of our proposed CmCEN, and it obtained higher performance than state-of-the-art methods on the task of IV-Re-ID. The source code of the proposed CmCEN is available at: https://github.com/SWU-CS-MediaLab/CmCEN.
