This paper proposes the ViT Token Constraint and Multi-scale Memory bank (TCMM) method to address the patch noises and feature inconsistency in unsupervised person re-identification works. Many excellent methods use ViT features to obtain pseudo labels and clustering prototypes, then train the model with contrastive learning. However, ViT processes images by performing patch embedding, which inevitably introduces noise in patches and may compromise the performance of the re-identification model. On the other hand, previous memory bank based contrastive methods may lead data inconsistency due to the limitation of batch size. Furthermore, existing pseudo label methods often discard outlier samples that are difficult to cluster. It sacrifices the potential value of outlier samples, leading to limited model diversity and robustness. This paper introduces the ViT Token Constraint to mitigate the damage caused by patch noises to the ViT architecture. The proposed Multi-scale Memory enhances the exploration of outlier samples and maintains feature consistency. Experimental results demonstrate that our system achieves state-of-the-art performance on common benchmarks.
