Meta Batch-Instance Normalization for Generalizable Person Re-Identification (MetaBIN), [CVPR 2021]

---

<Illustration of unsuccessful generalization scenarios and our framework>

• (a) Under-style-normalization happens when the trained BN model fails to distinguish identities on unseen domains.
• (b) Over-style-normalization happens when the trained IN model removes even ID-discriminative information.
• (c) Our key idea is to generalize BIN layers by simulating the preceding cases in a meta-learning pipeline. By overcoming the harsh situations, our model learns to avoid overfitting to source styles.

9) Code structure

• Our code is based on fastreid link

• fastreid/config/defaults.py: default settings (parameters)

• fastreid/data/datasets/: about datasets

• tools/train_net.py: Main code (train/test/tsne/visualize)

• fastreid/engine/defaults.py: build dataset, build model

  • fastreid/data/build.py: build datasets (base model/meta-train/meta-test)
  • fastreid/data/samplers/triplet_sampler.py: data sampler
  • fastreid/modeling/meta_arch/metalearning.py: build model
    • fastreid/modeling/backbones/mobilenet_v2.py or resnet.py: backbone network

10) Handling errors

• AMP
  • If the version of your GPU driver is old, you cannot use AMP(automatic mixed precision).
  • If so, modify the AMP option to False in /MetaBIN/configs/Sample/DG-mobilenet.yml
  • The memory usage will increase.
• Fastreid evaluation
  • If a compile error occurs in fastreid, run the following command.
  • cd fastreid/evaluation/rank_cylib; make all
• No such file or directory 'logs/Sample'
  • Please check logs (section 3)
• No such file or directory 'pretrained'
  • Please check pretrained (section 6)
• No such file or directory 'datasets'
  • Please check datasets (section 8)
• RuntimeError: cuDNN error: CUDNN_STATUS_EXECUTION_FAILED
  • Please check the CUDA version on your graphics card and pytorch.
