This code should work on Caffe with Python layer (pycaffe). You can install Caffe from here.

(1) Data Preparation.
Download the original datasets and their masks: MARS, Market-1501, CUHK-03, and their masks from Baidu Yun OR Google Drive.

For Market-1501 and CUHK-03, you need to run the spilt code(./data/gen_market1501_and_cuhk03_train_set.py).

(2) Model Training. Here, we take MARS as an example. The other two datasets are the same.

cd ./experiments/mars

First eidt the 'im_path', 'gt_path' and 'dataset' in the prototxt file, e.g., the MGCAM-only and MGCAM-Siamese version for MARS dataset is 'mgcam_train.prototxt' and 'mgcam_siamese_train.prototxt', respectively.

Then, we can train the MGCAM model from scratch with the command:

sh run_mgcam.sh

It will take roughly 15 hours for single Titan X.

Finally, we can fine-tune the MGCAM model with siamese loss via run the commman:

sh run_mgcam_siamese.sh

It will take roughly 5 hours for single Titan X.

(3) Evaluation.
Taking MARS for example, run the code in './evaluation/extract_feature_mars.py' to extract the IDE features, and then run the CMC and mAP evaluation with the MARS-evaluation code by Liang Zheng et al., or the Re-Ranking by Zhun Zhong et al.
