Unsupervised domain adaptive re-identification: Theory and practice

作者:

Highlights:

• We introduce the theoretical guarantees of unsupervised domain adaptive re-ID based on [2]. A DA-learnability result is shown under three assumptions that concerning the feature space. To the best of our knowledge, our paper is the first theoretical analysis work on domain adaptive re-ID tasks.

• We theoretically turn the goal of satisfying the assumptions into tractable loss functions on the encoder network and data samples.

• A self-training scheme is proposed to iteratively minimizing the loss functions. Our framework is applicable to all re-ID tasks and the effectiveness is verified on large-scale datasets for diverse re-ID tasks.
