Person search generally involves three important parts: person detection, feature extraction and identity comparison. However, person search integrating detection, extraction and comparison has the following drawbacks. Firstly, the accuracy of detection will affect the accuracy of comparison. Secondly, it is difficult to achieve real-time in real-world applications. To solve these problems, we propose a Multi-task Joint Framework for real-time person search (MJF), which optimizes the person detection, feature extraction and identity comparison respectively. For the person detection module, we proposed the YOLOv5-GS model, which is trained with person dataset. It combines the advantages of the Ghostnet and the Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) block, and improves the speed and accuracy. For the feature extraction module, we design the Model Adaptation Architecture (MAA), which could select different network according to the number of people. It could balance the relationship between accuracy and speed. For identity comparison, we propose a Three Dimension (3D) Pooled Table and a matching strategy to improve identification accuracy. On the condition of 1920*1080 resolution video and 500 IDs table, the identification rate (IR) and frames per second (FPS) achieved by our method could reach 93.6% and 25.7,

Mining the shared features of same identity in different scene, and the unique features of different identity in same scene, are most significant challenges in the field of person re-identification (ReID). Online Instance Matching (OIM) loss function and Triplet loss function are main methods for person ReID. Unfortunately, both of them have drawbacks. OIM loss treats all samples equally and puts no emphasis on hard samples. Triplet loss processes batch construction in a complicated and fussy way and converges slowly. For these problems, we propose a Triplet Online Instance Matching (TOIM) loss function, which lays emphasis on the hard samples and improves the accuracy of person ReID effectively. It combines the advantages of OIM loss and Triplet loss and simplifies the process of batch construction, which leads to a more rapid convergence. It can be trained on-line when handle the joint detection and identification task. To validate our loss function, we collect and annotate a large-scale benchmark dataset (UESTC-PR) based on images taken from surveillance cameras, which contains 499 identities and 60,437 images. We evaluated our proposed loss function on Duke, Marker-1501 and UESTC-PR using ResNet-50, and the result shows that our proposed loss function outperforms the baseline methods by a maximum of 21.7%, including Softmax loss, OIM loss and Triplet loss.
