DeepChange: A Long-Term Person Re-Identification Benchmark with Clothes Change

Long-term re-id with clothes change is a challenging problem in surveillance AI. Currently, its major bottleneck is that this field is still missing a large realistic benchmark. In this work, we contribute a large, realistic long-term person re-identification benchmark, termed DeepChange. Its unique characteristics are: (1) Realistic and rich personal appearance (e.g., clothes and hair style) and variations: Highly diverse clothes change and styles, with varying reappearing gaps in time from minutes to seasons, different weather conditions (e.g., sunny, cloudy, windy, rainy, snowy, extremely cold) and events (e.g., working, leisure, daily activities). (2) Rich camera setups: Raw videos were recorded by 17 outdoor varying-resolution cameras operating in a real-world surveillance system. (3) The currently largest number of (17) cameras, (1, 121) identities, and (178, 407) bounding boxes, over the longest time span (12 months). We benchmark the representative supervised and unsupervised re-id methods on our dataset. In addition, we investigate multimodal fusion strategies for tackling the clothes change challenge. Extensive experiments show that our fusion models outperform a wide variety of state-of-the-art models on DeepChange.
