Abstract

Pedestrian retrieval is an important technique of searching for a specific pedestrian from a large gallery. In this paper, we introduce three types of distance metrics for pedestrian retrieval, including learning-free distance metric methods, metric learning methods, and convolution neural network (CNN) methods, and evaluate the performance of different distance metrics using the Market-1501 database. The experiment shows that the CNN methods achieve the best results.
