However gallery images -with the same label and taken from the same camera as the query image should -not be considered when forming the ranklist. +The person re-identification problem presented in this paper requires mtatching pedestrian images from disjoint camera's by pedestrian detectors. This problem is challenging, as identities captured in photsos are subject to various lighting, pose, blur, background and oclusion from various camera views. This report considers features extracted from the CUHK03 dataset, following a 50 layer Residual network (Resnet50),. This paper considers distance metrics techniques which can be used to perform person re-identification across **disjoint* cameras, using these features. ## Dataset - CUHK03 The dataset CUHK03 contains 14096 pictures of people captured from two -different cameras. The feature vectors used come from passing the -rescaled images through ResNet50. Each feature vector contains 2048 -features that we use for classification. The pictures represent 1467 different -people and each of them appears between 9 and 10 times. The separation of -train_idx, query_idx and gallery_idx allows to perform taining and validation -on a training set (train_idx, adequately split between test, train and -validation keeping the same number of identities). This prevents overfitting -the algorithm to the specific data associated with query_idx and gallery_idx. +different cameras.
