Abstract

End-to-end person search is a research domain that executes the task of locating and identifying a target individual from a large number of scene images via a multi-task framework. However, a major challenge for the learning of end-to-end methods is the inherent conflicts between the two sub-tasks: person detection focuses on identifying generic features of persons, while person re-identification (Re-ID) strives to find unique, distinguishing features for matching the target person. Unlike previous research focusing on model architectures, this paper delves into the end-to-end person search training process. We find that the unbalanced and conflicting training issues significantly impair the learning…
