FlexiReID introduces a unified framework for person re-identification capable of flexible retrieval across any combination of RGB, infrared, sketch, and text modalities. The system achieves state-of-the-art or competitive performance on various multimodal tasks, demonstrating enhanced robustness and accuracy from leveraging diverse information sources.

Key insights

  • Flexible retrieval across arbitrary combinations of modalities, including handling missing inputs, significantly enhances person re-identification performance and real-world applicability.
  • Dynamically allocating experts in a Mixture-of-Experts setup, rather than using a fixed number, optimizes feature extraction efficiency and effectiveness for heterogeneous multimodal data.
  • The construction of a unified multimodal dataset (CIRS-PEDES) is crucial for comprehensive evaluation and comparison of flexible cross-modal Re-ID systems.
