VC-FeS: Viewpoint-Conditioned Feature Selection for Vehicle Re-identification in Thermal Vision

ArXi:2605.04750v1 Announce Type: new Identification of less-articulated objects using single-channel images, such as thermal images, is important in many applications, such as surveillance. However, in this domain, existing methods show poor performance due to high similarity among objects of the same category in the absence of color information (overlooking shape information) and de-emphasized texture information. Furthermore, variability in viewpoint adds complexity as the features vary from side to side.
