A method for re-identification of a subject in an image by pre-training a convolutional neural network to recognize individuals within a closed set of possible identifications and further pre-training the convolutional neural network using classification loss; training the pre-trained convolutional neural network by sequentially processing a plurality of triplet of images, each triplet containing a query image degraded by adding random noise to a region of the query image, a positive image corresponding to an image of a same subject as in the query image, and a negative image corresponding to an image of a different subject as in the query image by (a) ranking the triplets by the triplet loss computed,(b) selecting a subset of triplets among the plurality of triplets, and (c) retraining the pre-trained convolutional neural network on each of the triplets of the subset of triplets.
