Existing disentangled-based methods for generalizable person re-identification aim at directly disentangling person representations into domain-relevant interference and identity-relevant feature. However, they ignore that some crucial characteristics are stubbornly entwined in both the domain-relevant interference and identity-relevant feature, which are intractable to decompose in an unsupervised manner. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective Calibrated Feature Decomposition (CFD) module that focuses on improving the generalization capacity for person re-identification through a more judicious feature decomposition and reinforcement strategy. Specifically, a calibrated-and-standardized Batch normalization (CSBN) is designed to learn calibrated person representation by jointly exploring intra-domain calibration and inter-domain standardization of multi-source domain features. CSBN restricts instance-level inconsistency of feature distribution for each domain and captures intrinsic domain-level specific statistics. The calibrated person representation is subtly decomposed into the identity-relevant feature, domain feature, and the remaining entangled one. For enhancing the generalization ability and ensuring high discrimination of the identity-relevant feature, a calibrated instance normalization (CIN) is introduced to enforce discriminative id-relevant information, and filter out id-irrelevant information, and meanwhile the rich complementary clues from the remaining entangled feature are further employed to strengthen it. Extensive experiments demonstrate the strong generalization capability of our framework. Our models empowered by CFD modules significantly outperform the state-of-the-art domain generalization approaches on multiple widely-used benchmarks.
