Video-based Person ReID task involves grouping images into tracklets, allowing the model to take advantage of motion patterns and contextual information across frames.
The two most commonly used metrics in person ReID are Cumulative Matching Characteristics (CMC) curve and mean Average Precision (mAP).
Pre-training ImageNet-21k is generally the best choice for ViT models.
Overlapping patch embedding method captures fine-grained details and spatial continuity, thus it enhances feature representation.
Two effective loss functions in ReID tasks are Cross-Entropy Loss and Triplet Loss, and their combination improves model performance.
Training with only the first 10 blocks of the Vision Transformer (ViT) base architecture is often adopted to balance computational efficiency and model performance.
Dividing video sequences into smaller chunks helps in capturing temporal dynamics while reducing computational complexity.
Using overlapping patches, combining loss functions, and chunking help in achieving state-of-the-art results in video ReID tasks.
In the next article, the author will provide a more comprehensive guide on fine-tuning and optimizing these approaches for real-world applications.
