Unsupervised person re‐identification based on adaptive information supplementation and foreground enhancement by Qiang Wang, Zhihong Huang, Huijie Fan, Shengpeng Fu, Yandong Tang

“…To address these issues, first, a dual‐branch structure was proposed, which separately obtains the global features of the pedestrian and the local features by dividing the global features into a few equal sections. Then, an adaptive information supplementation (AIS) method based on the k‐nearest neighbor algorithm is designed to ascertain each local feature's relevance to the global features, calculating adaptive weight scores for information supplementation. …”
