Abstract

Video-based multi-modal person identification has attracted rising research interest recently to address the inadequacies of single-modal identification in unconstrained scenes. Most existing methods model video-level and multi-modal-level information of target video respectively, which suffer from separation of different levels and insufficient information contained in a specific video. In this paper, we introduce extra neighbor-level information for the first time to enhance the informativeness of target video. Then a Multi-Level(neighbor-level, multi-modal-level, and video-level) and Multi-Modal GCN model is proposed, to capture correlation among different levels and achieve adaptive fusion in a unified model. Experiments on iQIYI-VID-2019 dataset show that MMM-GCN significantly outperforms current state-of-the-art methods, proving its superiority and effectiveness. Besides, we point out feature fusion is heavily polluted by noisy nodes that result in a suboptimal result. Further improvement could be explored on this basis to approach the performance upper bound of our paradigm.
