在模拟恶劣天气下对比无人机车体重识别方法,发现雨天影响更大。
Benchmarking UAV-based Vehicle Re-Identification under Simulated Weather Conditions

- 用解析式天气生成器构建雾/雨数据集,保持身份和划分一致
- 雨天导致识别性能下降更严重,AdaSP模型在雾/雨下分别达93.0%/88.5% mAP
- 揭示现有方法对天气变化敏感,需设计抗天气干扰的模型
基于无人机的车辆重识别(ReID)因其灵活视角和广域覆盖,在交通监控与公共安全中展现出潜力。然而,现有方法在恶劣天气下的鲁棒性仍缺乏系统研究。本文针对三个代表性方法(CLIP-ReID、MSINet、AdaSP),在两个无人机车载数据集(VRU、UAV-VeID)上开展受控对比实验。通过解析式天气效应管道生成合成雾/雨版本数据集,保持原始身份与数据划分不变。所有方法在清洁、雾化、雨化条件下进行训练与评估。结果表明,恶劣天气显著降低检索性能,雨天影响普遍大于雾天;其中AdaSP表现最佳,在VRU-Large上雾/雨条件下的mAP分别为93.0%和88.5%,UAV-VeID-Test上分别为88.7%和76.2%。研究揭示模拟天气大幅增加任务难度,暴露方法间鲁棒性差异,强调未来空中ReID需引入天气感知的设计与评估范式。代码已开源。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
UAV-based vehicle re-identification (ReID) has emerged as a promising technique for traffic surveillance, urban monitoring, and public-safety applications thanks to the flexible viewpoints and wide-area coverage provided by unmanned aerial vehicles. However, despite recent progress on UAV-based vehicle ReID benchmarks, the robustness of existing methods under adverse weather remains insufficiently studied. This is important because weather degradation can significantly affect the fine-grained appearance cues required for reliable vehicle matching in aerial imagery, especially under small object scale, viewpoint variation, and complex backgrounds. In this paper, we present a controlled comparative study of three representative recent vehicle ReID methods, namely CLIP-ReID, MSINet, and AdaSP, on two UAV-based benchmarks, VRU and UAV-VeID. To ensure consistent robustness evaluation, we generate synthetic foggy and rainy variants of both datasets using an analytical weather-effect pipeline while preserving the original identities and data splits. All methods are then trained and evaluated under matched clean, foggy, and rainy conditions. Experimental results show that adverse weather consistently degrades retrieval performance across both datasets, with rain causing larger drops than fog in nearly all settings. Among the evaluated methods, AdaSP demonstrates the strongest robustness, achieving 93.0% and 88.5% mAP on VRU-Large, and 88.7% and 76.2% mAP on UAV-VeID-Test under foggy and rainy conditions, respectively. Overall, our findings show that simulated adverse weather substantially increases the difficulty of UAV-based vehicle ReID, reveals clear robustness differences among recent methods, and highlights the need for weather-aware model design and evaluation protocols in future aerial ReID research.
