### 1. Introduction to algorithms/application scenarios
Pedestrian re-identification (Person re-identification), also known as pedestrian re-identification, is the use of [computer vision](https://baike.baidu.com/item/computervision/2803351) technology to judge [image](https://baike.baidu.com/item/image/773234) or whether there is a technique of a particular pedestrian in the video sequence. Widely regarded as a sub-problem of [Image Retrieval](https://baike.baidu.com/item/image_retrieval/1150910). Given a surveillance pedestrian image, retrieve the pedestrian image across devices. It aims to make up for the visual limitations of fixed cameras, and can be combined with [pedestrian detection](https://baike.baidu.com/item/pedestriandetection/20590256)/pedestrian tracking technology, which can be widely used in [intelligent video surveillance](https://baike.baidu.com/item/intelligentvideosurveillance/10717227), intelligent security and other fields.
The common person re-identification method extracts the local/global, single-granularity/multi-granularity features of the input image through the feature extraction module, and then obtains a high-dimensional feature vector through the fusion module. Use the classification head to convert the feature vector into the probability of each category during training to optimize the feature extraction model in the way of classification tasks; directly use the high-dimensional feature vector as the image description vector in the retrieval vector library during testing or inference search to get the search results. The ReID strong-baseline algorithm proposes several methods to effectively optimize training and retrieval to improve the overall model performance.

### 2. ReID algorithm
#### 2.1 ReID strong-baseline
Paper source: [Bag of Tricks and A Strong Baseline for Deep Person Re-identification](https://openaccess.thecvf.com/content_CVPRW_2019/papers/TRMTMCT/Luo_Bag_of_Tricks_and_a_Strong_Baseline_for_Deep_Person_CVPRW_2019_paper.pdf)

##### 2.1.1 Principle introduction
Based on the commonly used person re-identification model based on ResNet50, the author explores and summarizes the following effective and applicable optimization methods, which greatly improves the indicators on multiple person re-identification datasets.
1. Warmup: At the beginning of training, let the learning rate gradually increase from a small value and then start to decrease, which is conducive to the stability of gradient descent optimization, so as to find a better parameter model.
2. Random erasing augmentation: Random area erasing, which improves the generalization ability of the model through data augmentation.
3. Label smoothing: Label smoothing to improve the generalization ability of the model.
4. Last stride=1: Set the downsampling of the last stage of the feature extraction module to 1, increase the resolution of the output feature map to retain more details and improve the classification ability of the model.
5. BNNeck: Before the feature vector is input to the classification head, it goes through BNNeck, so that the feature obeys the normal distribution on the surface of the hypersphere, which reduces the difficulty of optimizing IDLoss and TripLetLoss at the same time.
6. Center loss: Give each category a learnable cluster center, and make the intra-class features close to the cluster center during training to reduce intra-class differences and increase inter-class differences.
7. Reranking: Consider the neighbor candidates of the query image during retrieval, optimize the distance matrix according to whether the neighbor images of the candidate object also contain the query image, and finally improve the retrieval accuracy.
##### 2.1.2 Accuracy Index
The following table summarizes the accuracy metrics of the 3 configurations of the recurring ReID strong-baseline on the Market1501 dataset,
| Profile | recall@1 | mAP | Reference recall@1 | Reference mAP |
| ------------------------ | -------- | ----- | ------------------ | ------------- |
| baseline.yaml | 88.21 | 74.12 | 87.7 | 74.0 |
| softmax.yaml | 94.18 | 85.76 | 94.1 | 85.7 |
| softmax_with_center.yaml | 94.19 | 85.80 | 94.1 | 85.7 |
Note: The above reference indicators are obtained by using the author's open source code to train on our equipment for many times. Due to different system environment, torch version, CUDA version and other reasons, there may be slight differences with the indicators provided by the author.
Next, we mainly take the `softmax_triplet_with_center.yaml` configuration and trained model file as an example to show the process of training, testing, and inference on the Market1501 dataset.
##### 2.1.3 Data Preparation
Download the [Market-1501-v15.09.15.zip](https://pan.baidu.com/s/1ntIi2Op?_at_=1654142245770) dataset, extract it to `PaddleClas/dataset/`, and organize it into the following file structure :
```shell
PaddleClas/dataset/market1501
└── Market-1501-v15.09.15/
├── bounding_box_test/
├── bounding_box_train/
├── gt_bbox/
├── gt_query/
├── query/
├── generate_anno.py
├── bounding_box_test.txt
├── bounding_box_train.txt
├── query.txt
└── readme.txt
```
##### 2.1.4 Model training
1. Execute the following command to start training
```shell
python3.7 tools/train.py -c ./ppcls/configs/reid/strong_baseline/softmax_triplet_with_center.yaml
```
Note: Single card training takes about 1 hour.
2. View training logs and saved model parameter files
During the training process, indicator information such as loss will be printed on the screen in real time, and the log file `train.log`, model parameter file `*.pdparams`, optimizer parameter file `*.pdopt` and other contents will be saved to `Global.output_dir` `Under the specified folder, the default is under the `PaddleClas/output/RecModel/` folder.
##### 2.1.5 Model Evaluation
Prepare the `*.pdparams` model parameter file for evaluation. You can use the trained model or the model saved in [2.1.4 Model training](#214-model-training).
- Take the `latest.pdparams` saved during training as an example, execute the following command to evaluate.
```shell
python3.7 tools/eval.py \
-c ./ppcls/configs/reid/strong_baseline/softmax_triplet_with_center.yaml \
-o Global.pretrained_model="./output/RecModel/latest"
```
- Take the trained model as an example, download [reid_strong_baseline_softmax_with_center.epoch_120.pdparams](https://paddle-imagenet-models-name.bj.bcebos.com/dygraph/rec/reid/pretrain/reid_strong_baseline_softmax_with_center.epoch_120.pdparams) Go to the `PaddleClas/pretrained_models` folder and execute the following command to evaluate.
```shell
# download model
cd PaddleClas
mkdir pretrained_models
cd pretrained_models
wget https://paddle-imagenet-models-name.bj.bcebos.com/dygraph/rec/reid/pretrain/reid_strong_baseline_softmax_with_center.epoch_120.pdparams
cd..
# Evaluate
python3.7 tools/eval.py \
-c ppcls/configs/reid/strong_baseline/softmax_triplet_with_center.yaml \
-o Global.pretrained_model="pretrained_models/reid_strong_baseline_softmax_with_center.epoch_120"
```
Note: The address filled after `pretrained_model` does not need to be suffixed with `.pdparams`, it will be added automatically when the program is running.

The default evaluation log is saved in `PaddleClas/output/RecModel/eval.log`. You can see that the evaluation metrics of the `reid_strong_baseline_softmax_with_center.epoch_120.pdparams` model we provided on the Market1501 dataset are recall@1=0.94270, recall@5 =0.98189, mAP=0.85799
##### 2.1.6 Model Inference Deployment
###### 2.1.6.1 Inference model preparation
You can choose to use the model file saved during the training process to convert into an inference model and inference, or use the converted inference model we provide for direct inference
- Convert the model file saved during the training process into an inference model, also take `latest.pdparams` as an example, execute the following command to convert
```shell
python3.7 tools/export_model.py \
-c ppcls/configs/reid/strong_baseline/softmax_triplet_with_center.yaml \
-o Global.pretrained_model="output/RecModel/latest" \
-o Global.save_inference_dir="./deploy/reid_srong_baseline_softmax_with_center"
```
- Or download and unzip the inference model we provide
```shell
cd PaddleClas/deploy
wget https://paddle-imagenet-models-name.bj.bcebos.com/dygraph/rec/reid/inference/reid_srong_baseline_softmax_with_center.tar
tar xf reid_srong_baseline_softmax_with_center.tar
cd ../
```
###### 2.1.6.2 Inference based on Python prediction engine
1. Modify `PaddleClas/deploy/configs/inference_rec.yaml`. Change the field after `infer_imgs:` to any image path under the query folder in Market1501 (the code below uses the image path of `0294_c1s1_066631_00.jpg`); change the field after `rec_inference_model_dir:` to the extracted one reid_srong_baseline_softmax_with_center folder path; change the preprocessing configuration under the `transform_ops` field to the preprocessing configuration under `Eval.Query.dataset` in `softmax_triplet_with_center.yaml`. As follows
```yaml
Global:
infer_imgs: "../dataset/market1501/Market-1501-v15.09.15/query/0294_c1s1_066631_00.jpg"
rec_inference_model_dir: "./reid_srong_baseline_softmax_with_center"
batch_size: 1
use_gpu: False
enable_mkldnn: True
cpu_num_threads: 10
enable_benchmark: True
use_fp16: False
ir_optim: True
use_tensorrt: False
gpu_mem: 8000
enable_profile: False
RecPreProcess:
transform_ops:
-ResizeImage:
size: [128, 256]
return_numpy: False
interpolation: "bilinear"
backend: "pil"
- ToTensor:
- Normalize:
mean: [0.485, 0.456, 0.406]
std: [0.229, 0.224, 0.225]
RecPostProcess: null
```
2. Execute the inference command
```shell
cd PaddleClas/deploy/
python3.7 python/predict_rec.py -c ./configs/inference_rec.yaml
```
3. Check the output result, the actual result is a vector of length 2048, which represents the feature vector obtained after the input image is transformed by the model
```shell
0294_c1s1_066631_00.jpg: [ 0.01806974 0.00476423 -0.00508293 ... 0.03925538 0.00377574
-0.00849029]
```
The output vector for inference is stored in the `result_dict` variable in [predict_rec.py](../../../deploy/python/predict_rec.py#L134-L135).
4. Batch prediction
Change the path after `infer_imgs:` in the configuration file to a folder, such as `../dataset/market1501/Market-1501-v15.09.15/query`, it will predict and output all images under query. Feature vector.
