In order to address the problem that the detailed features of pedestrians are not prominent and the pedestrian pictures are obscured in unique environments in the process of person re-recognition, we propose a person re-recognition method with a multi-grain size generative adversarial network. Firstly, we use the generative adversarial network to recover the occluded pedestrian pictures; secondly, we improve the traditional multi-granularity network by adding an Efficient Channel Attention for Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (ECA-Net) on the coarse-grained branch to focus on the feature information in the pedestrian pictures and use the High-Resolution Net (HRNet) for pose estimation on the fine-grained branch to divide the pedestrian pictures into nine parts, to enhance the network's learning of more detailed features of pedestrians, and thus improve the accuracy of pedestrian re-recognition learning, which in turn improves the accuracy of person re-identification.INDEX TERMS Person re-identification, generative adversarial networks, random occlusion, attention mechanism.
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.
