Abstract
This paper proposes a new descriptor for person re-identification building on the recent advances of Fisher Vectors. Specifically, a simple vector of attributes consisting in the pixel coordinates, its intensity as well as the first and second-order derivatives is computed for each pixel of the image. These local descriptors are turned into Fisher Vectors before being pooled to produce a global representation of the image. The so-obtained Local Descriptors encoded by Fisher Vector (LDFV) have been validated through experiments on two person re-identification benchmarks (VIPeR and ETHZ), achieving state-of-the-art performance on both datasets.
