Search and Pruning (SnP) Framework for Training Set Search

This repository includes our code for the paper 'Large-scale Training Data Search for Object Re-identification' in CVPR2023.

Related material: Paper, Video, Zhihu

As shown in figure above, we present a search and pruning (SnP) solution to the training data search problem in object re-ID. The source data pool is 1 order of magnitude larger than existing re-ID training sets in terms of the number of images and the number of identities. When the target is AlicePerson, from the source pool, our method (SnP) results in a training set 80% smaller than the source pool while achieving a similar or even higher re-ID accuracy. The searched training set is also superior to existing individual training sets such as Market-1501, Duke, and MSMT.

Requirements

• Sklearn
• Scipy 1.2.1
• PyTorch 1.7.0 + torchivision 0.8.1

Re-ID Datasets Preparation

Please prepare the following datasets for person re-ID: DukeMTMC-reID, Market1503, MSMT17, CUHK03, RAiD, PersonX, UnrealPerson, RandPerson, PKU-Reid, VIPeR, AlicePerson (target data in VisDA20).

You may need to sign up to get access to some of these datasets. Please store these datasets in a file strcuture like this

Running example

The SnP framework are shown in animation above. For running such process, when Market is used as target, we can seach a training set with 2860 IDs using the command below:

python trainingset_search_person.py --target 'market' \
--result_dir 'results/sample_data_market/' --n_num_id 2860 \
--ID_sampling_method SnP --img_sampling_method 'FPS' --img_sampling_ratio 0.5 \
--output_data '/data/reid_data/market/SnP_2860IDs_0.5Imgs_0610'  

When VeRi is used as target, the command is:

python trainingset_search_vehicle.py --target 'veri' \
--result_dir './results/sample_data_veri/' --n_num_id 3118 \
--ID_sampling_method SnP --img_sampling_method 'FPS' --img_sampling_ratio 0.5 \
--output_data '/data/data/VeRi/SnP_3118IDs_0.5Imgs_0610'
