Abstract
This research proposes constructing a network used for person re-identification called MGNACP (Multiple Granularity Network with Attention Mechanisms and Combination Poolings). Based on the MGN (Multiple Granularity Network) that combines global and local features and the characteristics of the MGN branch, the MGNA (Multiple Granularity Network with Attentions) is designed by adding a channel attention mechanism to each global and local branch of the MGN. The MGNA, with attention mechanisms, learns the most identifiable information about global and local features to improve the person re-identification accuracy. Based on the constructed MGNA, a single pooling used in each branch is replaced by combination pooling to form MGNACP. The combination pooling parameters are the proportions of max pooling and average pooling in combination pooling. Through experiments, suitable combination pooling parameters are found, the advantages of max pooling and average pooling are preserved and enhanced, and the disadvantages of both types of pooling are overcome, so that poolings can achieve optimal results in MGNACP and improve the person re-identification accuracy. In experiments on the Market-1501 dataset, MGNACP achieved competitive experimental results; the values of mAP and top-1 are 88.82% and 95.46%. The experimental results demonstrate that MGNACP is a competitive person re-identification network, and that the attention mechanisms and combination poolings can significantly improve the person re-identification accuracy.
