Attention-enhanced feature mapping network for visible-infrared person re-identification
摘要
Visible-Infrared Person Re-Identification (VI-ReID) plays a pivotal role in surveillance systems, enabling the accurate identification of individuals across varying times and locations. Traditional methods struggle in low-light conditions, which motivates our research. We introduce an Attention-Enhanced Feature Mapping Network (AEFMNet) that addresses both intra-modal and inter-modal discrepancies. Our AEFMNet employs an Attention-based Feature Fusion Module (AFFM) to enhance global feature representation and a GCN-based Feature Mapping Module (GFMM) to reduce cross-modal feature gaps. The proposed network is further strengthened by a Joint Training Algorithm (JTA) that integrates multi-scale local and global features, enhancing cross-modal matching accuracy. Our approach achieves advanced performance on three large-scale data sets, demonstrating its effectiveness and robustness.
