Weighted Histogram of Overlapping Stripes
We have designed a discriminative and efficient descriptor of person appearance for re-identification based on coarse, striped pooling of local features. It exploits a simple yet effective center support kernel to approximately segment foreground from background.
The entire descriptor construction process is illustrated in the following video (click on the image):
