Person reidentification (re-ID) is becoming one of the most significant application areas of computer vision due to its importance for science and social security. Due to enormous size and scale of camera systems it is beneficial to develop edge computing re-ID applications where at least part of the analysis could be performed by the cameras. However, conventional re-ID relies heavily on deep learning (DL) computationally demanding models which are not readily applicable for edge computing. In this paper we adapt a recently proposed re-ID method that combines DL human parsing with analytical feature extraction and ranking schemes to be more suitable for edge computing re-ID. First, we compare parsers that use ResNet101, ResNet18, MobileNetV2, and OSNet backbones and show that parsing can be performed using compact backbones with sufficient accuracy. Second, we transfer parsers to tensor processing unit (TPU) of Google Coral Dev Board and show that it can act as a portable edge computing re-ID station. We also implement the analytical part of re-ID method on Coral CPU to ensure that it can perform a complete re-ID cycle. For quantitative analysis we compare inference speed, parsing masks, and re-ID accuracy on GPU and Coral TPU depending on parser backbone. We also discuss possible application scenarios of edge computing in re-ID taking into account known limitations mainly related to memory and storage space of portable devices.
