A Review on Person Re-Identification Techniques and Its Analysis

Abstract

Person re-identification (Re-ID) emerges as a captivating realm within computer vision, dedicated to the task of recognizing the same individual across diverse camera angles or locations. The realm of video-based person re-identification (video re-ID) has recently captivated increasing interest, owing to its wide array of practical applications spanning surveillance, smart city solutions, and public safety measures. Nevertheless, video re-ID proves to be a formidable challenge, an ever-evolving domain fraught with a multitude of uncertainties like viewpoint variations, occlusions, pose changes, and unpredictable video sequences. Over the past few years, the realm of deep learning applied to video re-ID has consistently delivered remarkable outcomes on public datasets, showcasing a range of innovative strategies devised to tackle the array of issues encountered in video re-ID. In stark contrast to image-based re-ID, video re-ID stands out as significantly more intricate and demanding. In a bid to inspire forthcoming research endeavors and confronts emerging challenges, this paper presents a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in deep learning methodologies tailored for video re-ID. It delves into three crucial facets; encompassing succinct explanations of video re-ID techniques along with their constraints, pivotal breakthroughs coupled with the technical hurdles faced, and the architectural framework underpinning these developments. The paper further furnishes a comparative analysis of performance across diverse datasets, offers insightful guidance on enhancing video re-ID strategies, and outlines compelling avenues for future research exploration.
