SRL-SOA: Self-Representation Learning With Sparse 1D-Operational Autoencoder For Hyperspectral Image Band Selection

Existing evaluation metrics for Person Re-Identification (Person ReID) models focus on system-wide performance. However, our studies reveal weaknesses due to the uneven data distributions among cameras and different camera properties that expose the ReID system to exploitation. in this work, we raise the long-ignored ReID problem of camera performance imbalance and collect a real-world privacy-aware dataset from 38 cameras to assist the study of the imbalance issue. We propose new metrics to quantify camera performance imbalance and further propose the Adversarial Pairwise Reverse Attention (APRA) Module to guide the model towards learning camera invariant features with a novel pairwise attention inversion mechanism.
