Abstract

See full text

An approach for re-identifying an object in a test image is presented. Similarity measures between the test image and training images captured by a first camera are determined. The similarity measures are based on Bhattacharyya distances between feature representations of an estimated background region of the test image and feature representations of background regions of the training images. A transformed test image based on the Bhattacharyya distances has a brightness that is different from the test image's brightness, and matches a brightness of training images captured by a second camera. An appearance of the transformed test image resembles an appearance of a capture of the test image by the second camera. Another image included in test images captured by the second camera is identified as being closest in appearance to the transformed test image and another object in the identified other image is a re-identification of the object.
