Disentangling Modality and Posture Factors: Memory-Attention and Orthogonal Decomposition for Visible-Infrared Person Re-Identification.

Striving to match the person identities between visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) images, VIS-NIR reidentification (Re-ID) has attracted increasing attention due to its wide applications in low-light scenes. However, owing to the modality and pose discrepancies exhibited in heterogeneous images, the extracted representations inevitably comprise various modality and posture factors, impacting the matching of cross-modality person identity. To solve the problem, we propose a disentangling modality and posture factors (DMPFs) model to disentangle modality and posture factors by fusing the information of features memory and pedestrian skeleton.
