Abstract: Person re-identification (ReID) is widely used in intelligent security, monitoring, criminal investigation and other fields. Aiming at the problems of local occlusion, scale misalignment and attitude change of pedestrian images in actual scenes, we propose a Multi-local Feature and Attention fused network (MFA) used for person re-identification task. Firstly, Channel Point Affinity Attention module (CPAA) is embedded in the backbone network to enhance the ability of the network for extracting local details. The feature map output from the backbone network is horizontally segmented into four local feature maps, and further four branch networks are concatenated to the feature map of the backbone network. The four local feature maps are used to guide the four branch networks to pay more attention on different areas of pedestrians through Global Local Aligned loss (GLA) function. Finally, the pedestrian feature vector containing multi-local features is obtained. The mAP of the network on Market-1501, DukeMTMC-reID,CUHK03 and MSMT17 datasets were 88.6%, 81.4%, 79.5% and 64.7%, and the Rank-1 was 95.8%, 90.1%, 81.2% and 84.1% respectively. In addition, the model also obtained 73.2% and 68.1% of Rank-1 on partial dataset Patial-REID and Patial-iLIDS, respectively. Recently, The MFA model parameter is 28.3M and the inference efficiency is approximately 32 fps to an image with a resulation of 256 × 128. Compared with other ReID methods, our proposed methods achieved a competitive performance for ReID task. The code was available at github:git@github.com:ISCLab-Bistu/MFA.git.
