Deep Template Matching for Pedestrian Attribute Recognition with the Auxiliary Supervision of Attribute-wise Keypoints
share
Pedestrian Attribute Recognition (PAR) has aroused extensive attention due to its important role in video surveillance scenarios. In most cases, the existence of a particular attribute is strongly related to a partial region. Recent works design complicated modules, e.g., attention mechanism and proposal of body parts to localize the attribute corresponding region. These works further prove that localization of attribute specific regions precisely will help in improving performance. However, these part-information-based methods are still not accurate as well as increasing model complexity which makes it hard to deploy on realistic applications. In this paper, we propose a Deep Template Matching based method to capture body parts features with less computation. Further, we also proposed an auxiliary supervision method that use human pose keypoints to guide the learning toward discriminative local cues. Extensive experiments show that the proposed method outperforms and has lower computational complexity, compared with the state-of-the-art approaches on large-scale pedestrian attribute datasets, including PETA, PA-100K, RAP, and RAPv2 zs.
