Introduction
1.1 Overview of Person Re-identification
In recent years, with the rapid development of intelligent surveillance devices and the
increasing demand for public safety, a large number of cameras have been deployed in public
places such as airports, communities, streets and campuses. These camera networks typically
span large ge- ographic areas with non-overlapping coverage and generate a large amount of
surveillance video every day. We use this video data to analyze the activity patterns and
behavioral characteristics of pedestrians in the real world for applica- tions such as target
detection, multi-camera target tracking and crowd behavior analysis. Person Re-ID can be
traced back to the problem of multi-target multi-camera tracking (MTMCT tracking) [1],
which aims to determine whether pedestrians captured by different cameras or pedestrian im-
ages from different video clips of the same camera are the same pedestrian [2]. Figure 1
illustrates an example of a surveillance area monitored by multiple cameras with non-
overlapping fields of view.
shows the complete flow of the person Re- ID system, which mainly consists of two stages:
pedestrian detection and re-identification [3]. For pedestrian detec- tion, many algorithms
with high detection accuracy have emerged, such as YOLO [4], SSD [5] and Fast R-CNN [6].
Person Re-ID constructs a large image dataset (Gallery) from the detected pedestrian images
and retrieves matching pedestrian images from it using probe images.
In recent years, with the increasing demand for public safety and the rapid development of
intelligent surveillance networks, person re-identification (Re-ID) has become one of the
hot research topics in the computer vision field. The main research goal of person Re-ID is
to retrieve persons with the same identity from different cameras. However, traditional
person Re-ID methods require manual marking of person targets, which consumes a lot of
labor cost. With the widespread application of deep neural networks, many deep learning-
based person Re-ID methods have emerged. Therefore, this paper is to facilitate researchers
to understand the latest research results and the future trends in the field. Firstly, we
summarize the studies of several recently published person Re-ID surveys and complement
the latest research methods to systematically classify deep learning-based person Re-ID
methods. Secondly, we propose a multi-dimensional taxonomy that classifies current deep
learning- based person Re-ID methods into four categories according to metric and
representation learning, including methods for deep metric learning, local feature learning,
generative adversarial learning and sequence feature learning. Furthermore, we subdivide
the above four categories according to their methodologies and motivations, discussing the
advantages and limitations of part subcategories. Finally, we discuss some challenges and
possible research directions for person Re-ID.
 person Re-ID can also be regarded as an image retrieval task [7]. The key of person
Re-ID is to learn discriminative features of pedestrians to distinguish between
pedestrian images with the same identity and those with different identities. However,
the difficulty of learning discriminative features of pedestrians is increased by the
variation of view, pose, illumination and resolution in different cameras in the real
world where pedestrians may appear in multiple cameras in multiple regions.

 Traditional person Re-ID methods mainly used manual extraction of fixed

discriminative features [8–12] or learned better similarity measures [13–16], which
were error-prone and time-consuming, and greatly affected the accuracy and real-
time performance of pedestrian Re-ID tasks. In 2014,

 Person re-identification (re-ID) is a specialized task in computer vision and machine

learning that focuses on identifying individuals across different non-overlapping
camera views or over time. The primary goal of person re-ID is to match images or
videos depicting the same person captured under varying conditions, such as different
camera viewpoints, lighting conditions, poses, and occlusions.

camera viewpoints, lighting conditions, poses, and occlusions.
 Person re-ID plays a crucial role in surveillance systems by enabling the tracking of
individuals across multiple cameras in public spaces, airports, shopping malls, and
other monitored environments.
 It can be used in retail environments to track customer behavior, analyze foot traffic
patterns, and personalize shopping experiences.
 Helps in forensic investigations by matching individuals across different footage to
reconstruct events and identify suspects.
1.2 Challenges in Traditional Method:-
Traditional methods in person re-identification (re-ID) faced several challenges that limited
their effectiveness, prompting the adoption of deep learning approaches. Here are some key
challenges encountered by traditional methods:
Handcrafted Feature Extraction:
Challenge: Traditional methods relied heavily on manually designed features such as color
histograms, texture descriptors, or edge patterns.
Limitation: These features often lacked robustness and discriminative power across different
environments and viewing conditions. They were sensitive to variations in illumination, pose,
and occlusion.
Viewpoint Variability:
Challenge: Cameras capture individuals from different viewpoints and distances, resulting in
significant variations in their appearances.
Limitation: Traditional methods struggled to handle these variations effectively. Matching
individuals across different camera angles or viewpoints required sophisticated feature
representations that could generalize well.
Complex Backgrounds and Occlusions:
Challenge: In crowded scenes or environments with complex backgrounds, individuals may be
partially occluded by objects or other people.
Limitation: Traditional methods often failed to accurately segment and match individuals in
such scenarios. They were unable to effectively distinguish between similar-looking
individuals or correctly identify them under partial occlusion.
Limited Generalization:
Challenge: Traditional approaches typically performed well under controlled laboratory
conditions or specific datasets.
Limitation: When applied to real-world surveillance scenarios with diverse datasets and
environmental conditions, their performance degraded. They lacked the ability to generalize
robustly across different datasets and unseen conditions.
Scalability and Efficiency:
Challenge: As surveillance systems expanded to include larger numbers of cameras and higher-
resolution footage, traditional methods faced scalability issues.
Limitation: They often required extensive computational resources for feature extraction and
matching, limiting their real-time applicability in large-scale surveillance systems.
1.3 Role of Deep Learning:-
deep learning was first used in the person Re-ID field illustrates that there has been a
significant increase in the proportion of collected person Re-ID papers over the years. Some
researchers designed different loss functions to optimize the learning of discriminative
features by network models . Other researchers extracted more robust features of pedestrians
by introducing local fea- ture learning or using attention mechanisms to focus on key
information of body parts. Ngo et al. explored the method of high-level feature extraction
aimed to explore context-based concept fusion by modeling inter- concept relationships,
which were not modeled based on semantic reasoning. [37]. Several works enhanced the final
feature representation by combining global and local fea- tures of pedestrians [38–44]. Due to
the good performance of GAN in generating images and learning features, generative
adversarial learning was widely used for person Re-ID tasks [45–55]. To alleviate the shortage
of information in single- frame images, some researchers used the complementary spatial and
temporal cues of video sequences to effectively fuse more information in the video sequences
[56–61]. Re- cently, graph convolutional network-based methods [60, 62– 65] also emerged to
learn more discriminative and robust features by modeling graph relationships on pedestrian
im- ages. Some researchers [66, 67] improved the robustness of the person Re-ID model by
exploiting the information of a person’s 3D shape. These methods are numerous and have
different emphases. To give researchers a quick overview of the current state of development
and valuable research .

directions in the field of person Re-ID, we conduct an in- depth survey of deep learning-
based person Re-ID methods and summarize the relevant research results in recent years.
Prior to this survey, some researchers [3, 68–77, 77– 81] also reviewed the person Re-
ID field. In Table 1, we summarize the major contributions of these reviews. Some of these
surveys [3, 69] summarized image-based and video- based person Re-ID methods. Other
surveys [70, 73, 74, 77–79] summarized the deep learning-based person Re-ID methods
in different dimensions, which developed rapidly after 2014 and became the main research
means. Recently, Wang et al. [81] outlined methods of cross-domain person Re-ID and
compared the performance of these methods on public datasets. Yaghoubi et al. [80]
proposed a multi- dimensional taxonomy to categorize the most relevant re- searches
according to different perspectives. Zhou et al. [82] provided a review to summarize the
developments in domain generalization for computer vision over the past decade. Behera
et al. [83] reviewed traditional and deep learning per- son Re-ID methods in both contextual
and non-contextual dimensions. Wu et al. [84] proposed new taxonomies for the two
components of feature extraction and metric learning on person Re-ID. Behera et al. [85]
conceptualized an overview of interpreting various futuristic cues on the IoT platform for
achieving person Re-ID.

However, there are still some improvements to be made in these surveys, which lack the
systematic classification and analysis of deep learning-based person Re-ID methods, also
miss many discussions parts for person Re-ID. In this paper, compared to the above review,
we focus more on metric learning and representation learning of deep learning methods in
person Re-ID tasks and complement the latest research methods of recent years. We present
an in-depth and comprehensive review of existing deep learning-based methods and discuss
their advantages and limitations. We classify deep learning-based person Re-ID methods in
terms of metric and representation learning dimensions, including four categories: deep
metric learning, local feature learning, generative adversarial learning and sequence feature
learn- ing.
Deep metric learning focused on designing better loss functions for model training.
Common loss functions for person Re-ID included: classification loss, verification loss,
