Abstract:
Person re-identification consists of recognizing a person over different cameras, using appearance cues. We
investigate the deployment of real-world re-identification systems, by developing and testing a working prototype.
We focus on two practical issues: computational complexity, and reliability of segmentation and
tracking. The former is addressed by using a recently proposed fast re-identification method, the latter by
using Kinect cameras. To our knowledge, this is the first example of a fully-functional re-identification system
based on Kinect in the literature. We finally point out possible improvements and future research directions.
