Summary
This forum post introduces an arXiv paper by Quentin Dhôte and Romaric Audigier on luggage re-identification (ReID) for video surveillance. Luggage ReID supports forensics, security, border management (e.g., suspicious or abandoned luggage recognition), and luggage management such as lost luggage recovery, by associating observations of the same luggage across disjoint camera views in environments like airports, train stations, and border crossings. The authors note that existing approaches mainly rely on appearance-based cropped image matching under relatively clean conditions, while real-world scenarios involve frequent occlusions, cluttered backgrounds, and crowded scenes that significantly degrade performance. Strategies exploiting the complementarity of multiple shots and views from different video streams remain overlooked. The paper studies strategies toward real-world luggage ReID. The post includes the paper metadata, arXiv link (2610.40643), and an automatically collected excerpt of the original abstract.

Original Abstract (translated excerpt)
Luggage re-identification (ReID) is a critical task in video surveillance for forensics, security or border management (suspicious or abandoned luggage recognition), as well as luggage management (lost luggage recovery). It enables the association of observations of the same luggage across disjoint camera views in complex environments such as airports, train stations and border crossings.
While existing approaches primarily focus on appearance-based cropped image matching under relatively clean conditions, real-world scenarios are characterized by frequent occlusions, cluttered backgrounds and crowded scenes, which significantly degrade performance. Yet, strategies leveraging the complementarity of multiple shots and views from different video streams are overlooked. In this paper, the authors study strategies toward real-world luggage re-identification.
