Vehicle Re-Identification System Based on Appearance Features

Abstract

Aiming at the low recognition accuracy caused by the problems of angle, illumination, and occlusion in vehicle re-identification based on deep learning, a vehicle re-identification method based on multibranch network feature extraction and two-stage retrieval feature is proposed. The multibranch feature extraction module uses ResNet-50 as the backbone network to extract the vehicle's attribute features and apparent features, respectively, and uses the attribute features for rough retrieval. On this basis, the attribute features and apparent features are fused for fine retrieval. Through experiments, the accuracy of vehicle re-identification on Veri-776 data set and VehicleID datasets is significantly improved. In addition, based on the improved algorithm, this paper designs and develops a vehicle re-identification system, which realizes the functions of inputting file directory, selecting target image, and querying result image, and provides a visual technical scheme for vehicle re-identification and retrieval in the real scene.
