Hierarchical Clustering-guided re-ID with Triplet loss
share
For most unsupervised person re-identification (re-ID), people often adopt unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) method. UDA often train on the labeled source dataset and evaluate on the target dataset, which often focuses on learning differences between the source dataset and the target dataset to improve the generalization of the model. Base on these, we explore how to make use of the similarity of samples to conduct a fully unsupervised method which just trains on the unlabeled target dataset. Concretely, we propose a hierarchical clustering-guided re-ID (HCR) method. We use hierarchical clustering to generate pseudo labels and use these pseudo labels as monitors to conduct the training. In order to exclude hard examples and promote the convergence of the model, We use PK sampling in each iteration, which randomly selects a fixed number of samples from each cluster for training. We evaluate our model on Market-1501, DukeMTMC-reID and MSMT17. Results show that HCR gets the state-of-the-arts and achieves 55.3 DukeMTMC-reID. Our code will be released soon.
