Person re-identification (Re-ID) is a crucial task in modern surveillance systems, enabling the identification and tracking of individuals across multiple cameras with non-overlapping views. This project aims to develop a robust and efficient Re-ID system that can address real-world challenges such as variations in lighting, occlusions, pose changes, and similar appearances among individuals. By leveraging deep learning techniques, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and attention mechanisms, the system extracts discriminative features and performs accurate matching across surveillance footage. The proposed solution incorporates a multi-step pipeline: pre-processing for noise reduction, feature extraction using pre-trained deep models fine-tuned on Re-ID datasets, and matching using a metric learning approach. The system will be trained and evaluated on benchmark datasets, ensuring scalability and adaptability to diverse environments. Applications of this project include enhanced security monitoring, crowd analytics, and smart city initiatives, offering a significant improvement in real-time surveillance and forensic analysis capabilities. The research outcomes are expected to contribute to the development of intelligent surveillance systems with increased accuracy and reliability.
