We have supported:

• Float16 to save GPU memory based on APEX
• Multiple query evaluation
• Random erasing
• Visualize training curves
• Generate all figures in the paper

• Python 3.6
• GPU Memory >= 15G
• GPU Memory >= 10G (for fp16)
• NumPy
• PyTorch 1.0+
• [Optional] APEX (for fp16)

• Install PyTorch from http://pytorch.org/
• Install torchvision from the source:

git clone https://github.com/pytorch/vision
cd vision
python setup.py install

• [Optional] You may skip it. Install APEX from the source:

git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/apex.git
cd apex
python setup.py install --cuda_ext --cpp_ext

• Clone this repo.

git clone https://github.com/NVlabs/DG-Net.git
cd DG-Net/

Our code is tested on PyTorch 1.0.0+ and torchvision 0.2.1+ .

Download the dataset Market-1501

Preparation: put the images with the same id in one folder. You may use

python prepare-market.py          # for Market-1501

Note to modify the dataset path to your own path.

We provide our trained model. You may download it from GoogleDrive (or BaiduDisk password: rqvf). You may download and move it to the outputs.

For more details, please check the README.md in the ./reid_eval.

Please check the README.md in the ./visual_tools.

You may use the ./visual_tools/test_folder.py to generate lots of images and then do the evaluation. The only thing you need to modify is the data path.

• SSIM https://github.com/layumi/PerceptualSimilarity

• FID https://github.com/layumi/TTUR (To evaluate, you need to install tensorflow-gpu)

You may directly download our trained teacher model from GoogleDrive (or BaiduDisk password: rqvf). If you want to have it trained by yourself, please check the person re-id baseline repository to train a teacher model, then copy and put it in the ./models.

1. Setup the yaml file. Check out configs/latest.yaml. Change the data_root field to the path of your prepared folder-based dataset, e.g. ../Market-1501/pytorch.

2. Start training

python train.py --config configs/latest.yaml

Or train with low precision (fp16)

python train.py --config configs/latest-fp16.yaml

Intermediate image outputs and model binary files are saved in outputs/latest.

3. Check the loss log

 tensorboard --logdir logs/latest

We provide our generated images and make a large-scale synthetic dataset called DG-Market. This dataset is generated by our DG-Net and consists of 128,307 images (613MB), about 10 times larger than the original Market-1501. It can be used as a source of unlabeled training dataset for semi-supervised learning. You may download the dataset from GoogleDrive (or BaiduDisk password: qxyh).

Note the format of the camera id and the number of cameras.

For some datasets (e.g., MSMT17), there are more than 10 cameras. You need to modify the preparation and evaluation code to read the double-digit camera id.

For some vehicle re-id datasets (e.g., VeRi) having different naming rules, you also need to modify the preparation and evaluation code.
