The ViSA framework introduces a view-aware semantic alignment approach for Aerial-Ground Person Re-Identification, explicitly disentangling intrinsic identity factors from extrinsic viewpoint factors. It achieved state-of-the-art performance on benchmarks like CARGO, with a 10.06% mAP gain and 55.1% faster inference compared to previous methods.

Key insights

  • Achieving view-aware semantic alignment, rather than strict view-invariance, by explicitly learning to disentangle and leverage both view-invariant and view-specific identity cues, enhances cross-view matching.
  • Distributed identity cues, often intertwined with viewpoint variations, can be effectively captured through query-augmented graph reasoning on local patch tokens.
  • A Mixture-of-Experts mechanism provides flexible guidance for local feature aggregation by adaptively generating semantic-guided tokens that account for diverse viewpoint-specific patterns.
