Abstract-In this paper, we propose a deep end-to-end neural network to simultaneously learn high-level features and a corresponding similarity metric for person re-identification. The network takes a pair of raw RGB images as input, and outputs a similarity value indicating whether the two input images depict the same person. A layer of computing neighborhood range differences across two input images is employed to capture local relationship between patches [1]. This operation is to seek a robust feature from input images. By increasing the depth to 10 weight layers and using very small (3×3) convolution filters, our architecture achieves a remarkable improvement on the prior-art configurations. Meanwhile, an adaptive RootMean-Square (RMSProp) gradient decent algorithm is integrated into our architecture, which is beneficial to deep nets. Our method consistently outperforms state-of-the-art on two large datasets (CUHK03 and Market-1501), and a medium-sized data set (CUHK01).
Moreover, REF improved the performance by increasing the depth of layers and using very small convolution filters.
