Modality-aware graph CNN for cross-modal person reidentification
摘要
Visible-infrared person reidentification (VI-ReID) aims to match person images across different modalities. Traditional VI-ReID methods focus on intra-modality feature relationships, ignoring inter-modality correlations. To address this, we propose a modality-aware graph convolutional network (MAGCN) that simultaneously mines intra-modality and inter-modality relationships. MAGCN comprises three key modules: a modality-aware module (MAM) to extract modality-specific features, an intra-modality relationship graph module (IRGM) to enhance feature representation within modalities, and a cross-modality feature alignment module (CFAM) to achieve cross-modality matching. Extensive experiments on two public datasets demonstrate that MAGCN outperforms state-of-the-art methods, achieving higher accuracy in cross-modal person reidentification.
