Person re-identification has important applications in video surveillance. It is particularly challenging because observed pedestrians undergo significant variations across camera views, and there are a large number of pedestrians to be distinguished given small pedestrian images from surveillance videos. This chapter discusses different approaches of improving the key components of a person re-identification system, including feature design, feature learning, and metric learning, as well as their strength and weakness. It provides an overview of various person re-identification systems and their evaluation on benchmark datasets. Multiple benchmark datasets for person re-identification are summarized and discussed. The performance of some state-of-the-art person identification approaches on benchmark datasets is compared and analyzed. It also discusses a few future research directions on improving benchmark datasets, evaluation methodology, and system design.
