An Efficient Multiresolution Network for Vehicle Reidentification

In general, vehicle images have varying resolutions due to vehicles’ movements and different camera settings. However, most existing vehicle reidentification models are single-resolution deep networks trained with preuniformly resizing vehicle images, which underestimate adverse effects of varying resolutions and lead to unsatisfactory performance. A straightforward solution for dealing with varying resolutions is to train multiple vehicle reidentification models. Each model is independently trained with images of a specific resolution. However, this straightforward solution requires significant overhead and ignores intrinsic associations among different resolution images. For that, an efficient multiresolution network (EMRN) is proposed for vehicle reidentification in this article. First, EMRN embeds a newly designed multiresolution feature dimension uniform module (MR-FDUM) behind a traditional backbone network (i.e., ResNet-50). As a result, the whole model can extract fixed dimensional features from different resolution images so that it can be trained with one loss function of fixed dimensional parameters rather than training multiple models. Second, a multiresolution image randomly feeding strategy is designed to train EMRN, making each minibatch data of a random resolution during the training process. Consequently, EMRN can implicitly learn collaborative multiresolution features via only a unitary deep network. The experiments on three large-scale data sets, i.e., VeRi776, VehicleID, and VRIC, demonstrate that EMRN is superior to state-of-the-art vehicle reidentification methods.
