An efficient deep learning-assisted person re-identification solution for intelligent video surveillance in smart cities

Innovations on the Internet of Everything(IoE)enabled systems are driving a change in the settings where we interact in smart units,recognized globally as smart city environments.However,intelligent video-surveillance systems are critical to increasing the security of these smart cities.More precisely,in today’s world of smart video surveillance,person re-identification(Re-ID)has gained increased consideration by researchers.Various researchers have designed deep learningbased algorithms for person Re-ID because they have achieved substantial breakthroughs in computer vision problems.In this line of research,we designed an adaptive feature refinementbased deep learning architecture to conduct person Re-ID.In the proposed architecture,the inter-channel and inter-spatial relationship of features between the images of the same individual taken from nonidentical camera viewpoints are focused on learning spatial and channel attention.In addition,the spatial pyramid pooling layer is inserted to extract the multiscale and fixed-dimension feature vectors irrespective of the size of the feature maps.Furthermore,the model’s effectiveness is validated on the CUHK01 and CUHK02 datasets.When compared with existing approaches,the approach presented in this paper achieves encouraging Rank 1 and 5 scores of 24.6% and 54.8%,respectively.

Long‐time target tracking algorithm based on re‐detection multi‐feature fusion

This paper considers the problem of long-term target tracking in complex scenes when tracking failures are unavoidable due to illumination change,target deformation,scale change,motion blur,and other factors.More specifically,a target tracking algorithm,called re-detection multi-feature fusion,is proposed based on the fusion of scale-adaptive kernel correlation filtering and re-detection.The target tracking algorithm trains three kernel correlation filters based on the histogram of oriented gradients,colour name,and local binary pattern features and then obtains the fusion weight of response graphs corresponding to different features based on average peak correlation energy criterion and uses weighted average to complete the position estimation of the tracked target.In order to deal with the problem that the target is occluded and disappears in the tracking process,a random fern classifier is trained to perform re-detection when the target is occluded.After comparing the OTB-50 target tracking dataset,the experimental results show that the proposed tracker can track the target well in the occlusion attribute video sequence in the OTB-100 test dataset and has a certain improvement in tracking accuracy and success rate compared with the traditional correlation filter tracker.
