新范式CFReID用极少样本持续学习,解决监控中人物识别模型难更新难题。

CFReID: Continual Few-shot Person Re-Identification

  • 从特征分布角度设计稳定对齐框架,支持少样本增量学习
  • 仅用32个身份样本(5%数据)超越需700-1000样本的旧方法
  • 适合隐私受限、数据稀缺的真实监控场景应用

现实监控系统动态变化,要求行人重识别模型能持续处理来自不同域的新数据。为应对这一挑战,终身重识别(LReID)被提出以增量方式跨域积累知识。然而,现有LReID需在每个未知域上使用大规模标注数据训练,而这类数据常因隐私与成本限制难以获取。本文提出一种新范式——持续少样本重识别(CFReID),要求模型仅用少量样本增量训练,并在所有已见域上测试。在少样本条件下,CFReID面临两大核心挑战:从未知域的少样本中学习知识,以及避免对已学域的灾难性遗忘。为此,我们从特征分布视角提出稳定分布对齐(SDA)框架,包含元分布对齐(MDA)与基于原型的少样本适配(PFA)两个模块。为支持该研究,我们在五个公开行人重识别数据集上构建了评估基准。大量实验表明,所提SDA可显著提升少样本学习与抗遗忘能力。值得注意的是,本方法仅使用5%数据(即32个身份),便显著优于需700至1000个身份的现有最优LReID方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Real-world surveillance systems are dynamically evolving, requiring a person Re-identification model to continuously handle newly incoming data from various domains. To cope with these dynamics, Lifelong ReID (LReID) has been proposed to learn and accumulate knowledge across multiple domains incrementally. However, LReID models need to be trained on large-scale labeled data for each unseen domain, which are typically inaccessible due to privacy and cost concerns. In this paper, we propose a new paradigm called Continual Few-shot ReID (CFReID), which requires models to be incrementally trained using few-shot data and tested on all seen domains. Under few-shot conditions, CFREID faces two core challenges: 1) learning knowledge from few-shot data of unseen domain, and 2) avoiding catastrophic forgetting of seen domains. To tackle these two challenges, we propose a Stable Distribution Alignment (SDA) framework from feature distribution perspective. Specifically, our SDA is composed of two modules, i.e., Meta Distribution Alignment (MDA) and Prototype-based Few-shot Adaptation (PFA). To support the study of CFReID, we establish an evaluation benchmark for CFReID on five publicly available ReID datasets. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our SDA can enhance the few-shot learning and anti-forgetting capabilities under few-shot conditions. Notably, our approach, using only 5\% of the data, i.e., 32 IDs, significantly outperforms LReID's state-of-the-art performance, which requires 700 to 1,000 IDs.
