Abstract

Extracting meaningful features from images is essential for many computer vision tasks. In this paper, we propose color histogram based on locality-constrained linear coding (LLC) feature representation for person reidentification. We compare the performance of five features with five metric learning methods for person re-identification. Extensive experiments on two publically available benchmarking datasets are carried out to compare the performance of various features. There are two contributions in this study. First, we present a new feature extraction technique which integrates the LLC and color histogram for person re-identification. Second, we conduct quantitative and comparative experiments of various feature extractions in the context of person re-identification and some useful conclusions are made.
