Abstract:
In this paper, we propose a shortly and densely connected convolutional neural network (SDC-CNN) for vehicle re-identification. The proposed SDC-CNN mainly consists of short and dense units (SDUs), necessary pooling and normalization layers. The main contribution lies at the design of short and dense connection mechanism, which would effectively improve the feature learning ability. Specifically, in the proposed short and dense connection mechanism, each SDU contains a short list of densely connected convolutional layers and each convolutional layer is of the same appropriate channels. Consequently, the number of connections and the input channel of each convolutional layer are limited in each SDU, and the architecture of SDC-CNN is simple. Extensive experiments on both VeRi and VehicleID datasets show that the proposed SDC-CNN is obviously superior to multiple state-of-the-art vehicle re-identification methods.
