Person Reid by Salience Matching

Matlab code for our ICCV 2013 work "Person Re-identification by Salience Matching".

Created by Rui Zhao, June, 2014

##Installation

• Download VIPeR dataset, and put the subfolders (/cam_a and /cam_b) into directory .\dataset\viper\
• Download CUHK01 dataset, and put the dataset at directory ./dataset/campus
• If you run on Windows system, you need to replace the '/' with '' in following script files, set_paths.m, ./code/normdata.m, ./code/initialcontext_general.m, ./demo_salmatch_cuhk01.m

##Demo Currently, one demo is provided

• demo_salmatch_cuhk01.m : perform evaluation over CUHK01 dataset

##Remark

• Running the demo_salmatch_cuhk01.m is supposed to achieve 30.04% at rank-1 accuracy on CUHK01 dataset
• The training / testing partition is generated following the approach SDALF
• Parallel Toolbox can accellerate the computation, use matlabpool if necessary
• The demo will generate large amount of intermediate data in the cache directory (around 25.5GB for CUHK01 demo)
• This demo was tested on MATLAB (R2012b), both 64-bit Win7 and 64-bit Linux with Intel Xeon 3.33 GHz CPU.
