Fast and robust person reidentification is an important task in multi-camera surveillance and automated access control. We present an efficient appearance-based algorithm, able to reidentify a person regardless of occlusions, distance to the camera, and changes in view and lighting. The use of fast online feature selection techniques enables us to perform reidentification in hyper-real-time for a multicamera system, by taking only 10 seconds for evaluating 100 minutes of HD-video data. We demonstrate, that our approach surpasses current appearance-based state-of-theart in reidentification quality and computational speed and sets a new reference in non-biometric reidentification.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
