Automated person re-identification in a multi-camera surveillance setup is very important for effective tracking and monitoring crowd movement. In the recent years, few deep learning based re-identification approaches have been developed which are quite accurate but time-intensive, and hence not very suitable for practical purposes. In this paper, we propose an efficient hierarchical re-identification approach in which color histogram based comparison is first employed to find the closest

Reduction in search space after the first level of matching helps in achieving a fast response time as well as improving the accuracy of prediction by the Siamese network by eliminating vastly dissimilar elements. A silhouette part-based feature extraction scheme is adopted in each level of hierarchy to preserve the relative locations of the different body structures and make the appearance descriptors more discriminating in nature. The proposed approach has been evaluated on five public data sets and also a new data set captured by our team in our laboratory. Results reveal that it outperforms most state-of-the-art approaches in terms of overall accuracy.
