Video-based Re- ID expands upon earlier image-based methods by extracting person features temporally across multiple video image frames. The key challenge within person Re-ID is extracting a robust feature representation that is invariant to the challenges of pose and illumination variation across multiple camera viewpoints. Whilst most contemporary methods use a CNN based methodology, recent advances in vision transformer (ViT) architectures boost fine-grained feature discrimination via the use of both multi-head attention without any loss of feature robustness. To specifically enable ViT architectures to effectively address the challenges of video person Re-ID, we propose two novel modules constructs, Temporal Clip Shift and Shuffled (TCSS) and Video Patch Part Feature (VPPF), that boost the robustness of the resultant Re-ID feature representation. Furthermore, we combine our proposed approach with current best practices spanning both image and video based Re-ID including camera view embedding. Our proposed approach outperforms existing state-of-the-art work on the MARS, PRID2011, and iLIDS-VID Re-ID benchmark datasets achieving 96.36%, 96.63%, 94.67% rank-1 accuracy respectively and achieving 90.25% mAP on MARS.","url_abs":"https://durham-repository.worktribe.com/output/1134965","url_pdf":"https://durham-repository.worktribe.com/output/1134965","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"vid-trans-reid-enhanced-video-transformers","repo_url":"https://github.com/AishahAADU/VID-Trans-ReID","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"person-re-identification","task_name":"Person Re-Identification"},{"task_slug":"video-based-person-re-identification","task_name":"Video-Based Person Re-Identification"}],"methods":[{"method_slug":"attention","method_name":"Attention"},{"method_slug":"clip","method_name":"CLIP"},{"method_slug":"dense-connections","method_name":"Dense Connections"},{"method_slug":"layer-normalization","method_name":"Layer Normalization"},{"method_slug":"linear-layer","method_name":"Linear Layer"},{"method_slug":"multi-head-attention","method_name":"Multi-Head Attention"},{"method_slug":"residual-connection","method_name":"Residual Connection"},{"method_slug":"softmax","method_name":"Softmax"},{"method_slug":"vision-transformer","method_name":"Vision Transformer"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
