An Introduction to Person Re-identification with Generative Adversarial Networks

Abstract

Person re-identification is a basic subject in the field of computer vision. The traditional methods have several limitations in solving the problems of person illumination like occlusion, pose variation and feature variation under complex background. Fortunately, deep learning paradigm opens new ways of the person re-identification research and becomes a hot spot in this field. Generative Adversarial Nets (GANs) in the past few years attracted lots of attention in solving these problems. This paper reviews the GAN based methods for person re-identification focuses on the related papers about different GAN based frameworks and discusses their advantages and disadvantages. Finally, it proposes the direction of future research, especially the prospect of person re-identification methods based on GANs.
