The Multi-scale Decomposed Convolution Refinement Network (MDCRNet) advances visible-infrared person re-identification by integrating a Hierarchical Learning Module for multi-scale feature extraction and a novel Joint Discriminative Metric Loss for comprehensive optimization. The framework achieved state-of-the-art performance, with a 1.06% mAP gain on the RegDB dataset and a 0.75% mAP gain on the SYSU-MM01 dataset compared to prior methods.

Key insights

  • Capturing features across multiple spatial scales (fine-grained, mid-grained, coarse-grained) using progressive dilated convolutions significantly enhances identity representation for VI-ReID.
  • A unified metric learning objective, simultaneously enforcing intra-identity compactness, inter-identity separability, and cross-modal alignment, leads to more robust and discriminative feature learning.
  • Hierarchical fusion combining channel attention with multi-scale spatial processing effectively mitigates cross-modal discrepancies and extracts comprehensive semantic information.
