📝 摘要(中文)

近年来,车辆重识别(Re-ID)在智能交通系统中变得越来越重要。然而,背景信息和遮挡物的存在会干扰特征学习,导致同一车辆在不同场景中的图像差异显著。本文提出了一种基于动态相似性邻接矩阵的图网络方法(DSAM-GN),通过构建邻接矩阵来捕捉局部特征的空间关系,并减少背景噪声。具体而言,该方法将提取的车辆特征划分为不同的补丁作为图网络中的节点,采用基于空间注意力的相似性邻接矩阵生成模块(SASAMG)计算节点的相似性矩阵,并通过动态擦除操作断开低相似度的节点,最终将节点和相似性邻接矩阵输入图网络以提取更具判别性的特征。实验结果表明,该方法在VeRi-776和VehicleID等公共数据集上表现优异。

📄 摘要(原文)

In recent years, vehicle re-identification (Re-ID) has gained increasing importance in various applications such as assisted driving systems, traffic flow management, and vehicle tracking, due to the growth of intelligent transportation systems. However, the presence of extraneous background information and occlusions can interfere with the learning of discriminative features, leading to significant variations in the same vehicle image across different scenarios. This paper proposes a method, named graph network based on dynamic similarity adjacency matrices (DSAM-GN), which incorporates a novel approach for constructing adjacency matrices to capture spatial relationships of local features and reduce background noise. Specifically, the proposed method divides the extracted vehicle features into different patches as nodes within the graph network. A spatial attention-based similarity adjacency matrix generation (SASAMG) module is employed to compute similarity matrices of nodes, and a dynamic erasure operation is applied to disconnect nodes with low similarity, resulting in similarity adjacency matrices. Finally, the nodes and similarity adjacency matrices are fed into graph networks to extract more discriminative features for vehicle Re-ID. Experimental results on public datasets VeRi-776 and VehicleID demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method compared with recent works.
