摘要 可见光-红外行人重识别是全天候视频监控的关键技术之一,但受模态异质性、姿态变化与遮挡等因素的制约,仍存在局部语义建模容易错位、训练目标与推理目标脱节、单空间匹配鲁棒性不足等问题.针对上述问题,文中提出基于视觉语义动态锚定的双空间约束可见光-红外行人重识别方法(Dual-Space Constrained Visible-Infrared Person Re-identification Method Based on Visual Semantic Dynamic Anchoring, DS-VSDA).首先,设计语义驱动的原型动态锚定模块,引入人体部位空间先验,缓解语义冗余与漂移.然后,提出跨样本邻域关联损失,显式建模批次内样本拓扑关系,使训练约束与推理检索逻辑保持一致.最后,构建双空间一致性约束与匹配动态校准机制,融合深层特征和浅层特征,并通过互证校验优化匹配结果.在SYSU-MM01、RegDB数据集上的实验表明,DS-VSDA在室内外多场景中的性能稳定,由此验证其有效性.
Abstract:Visible-infrared person re-identification is a key technology for all-day video surveillance. However, constrained by modality heterogeneity, pose variations, and occlusions, existing methods still suffer from misalignment in local semantic modeling, a gap between training and inference objectives, and insufficient robustness in single-space matching. To address these issues, a dual-space constrained method based on visual-semantic dynamic anchoring(DS-VSDA)is proposed. First, a semantics-driven prototype dynamic anchoring module is designed to introduce spatial prior initialization of human body parts, thereby alleviating semantic redundancy and drift. Then, a cross-sample neighborhood affinity loss is introduced to explicitly model the topological relations among samples within a batch, bridging the training-inference gap. Finally, a dual-space semantic consistency constraint and a matching calibration mechanism are constructed to fuse shallow and deep features and optimize matching results through mutual verification. Experiments on the SYSU-MM01 and RegDB datasets demonstrate that DS-VSDA achieves stable performance in both indoor and outdoor scenarios, thereby validating its effectiveness.
