VEHICLE REIDENTIFICATION

A framework for decision fusion utilizing features extracted from vehicle images and their detected wheels. Siamese networks are exploited to extract key signatures from pairs of vehicle images. The present disclosure melds different types of similarity scores (whole vehicle and wheels/hubcaps) between target and test vehicles to robustly integrate different similarity scores and provide a more informed decision for vehicle matching. The present disclosure provides improved accuracy for side-view vehicle matching even under different illumination conditions and elevation angles.
