Most existing person re-identification methods focus on matching still person images across non-overlapping camera views. Despite their excellent performance in some circumstances, these methods still suffer from occlusion and the changes of pose, viewpoint or lighting. Video-based re-id is a natural way to overcome these problems, by exploiting space–time information from videos. One of the most challenging problems in video-based person re-identification is temporal alignment, in addition to spatial alignment. To address the problem, we prop...
