Person search in real-world scenarios is a new challenging computer version task with many meaningful applications. The challenge of this task mainly comes from: (1) unavailable bounding boxes for pedestrians and the model needs to search for the person over the whole gallery images; (2) huge variance of visual appearance of a particular person owing to varying poses, lighting conditions, and occlusions. To address these two critical issues in modern person search applications, we propose a novel Individual Aggregation Network (IAN) that can accurately localize persons by learning to minimize intra-person feature variations. IAN is built upon the state-of-the-art object detection framework, i.e., faster R-CNN, so that high-quality region proposals for pedestrians can be produced in an online manner. In addition, to relieve the negative effect caused by varying visual appearances of the same individual, IAN …
