Towards fast and kernelized orthogonal discriminant analysis on person re-identification

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose to solve the singularity problem in person re-identification by learning an orthogonal transformation with the pseudo-inverse of the within-class scatter matrix.

• We develop a kernel version for learning the orthogonal transformation against the non-linear distribution of data in person re-identification, thereby boosting the performance of person re-identification.

• We present a fast version with the unchanged performance of person reidentification for improving the solving efficiency.

• We conduct experiments on four challenging datasets to demonstrates the validity and advantage of the proposed method for solving the singularity problem in person re-identification, and analyze the effectiveness of both kernel version and fast version.
