Person re-identification plays important roles in many practical applications. Due to various human poses, complex backgrounds and similarity of person clothes, person re-identification is still a challenging task. In this paper, we mainly focus on the robust and discriminative appearance feature representation and proposed a novel multi-appearance method for person re-identification. First, we proposed a deep feature fusion method and get the multi-appearance feature by combining two Convolutional Neural Networks. Then, in order to further enhance the representation of the appearance feature, the multi-part model was constructed by combining the whole body and the six body parts. Additionally, we optimized the feature extraction process by adding a pooling layer. Comprehensive and comparative experiments with the state-of-the-art methods over publicly available datasets demonstrated that the proposed method can get promising results.

Conventional algorithms fail to obtain satisfactory background segmentation results for underwater images. In this study, an improved K-means algorithm was developed for underwater image background segmentation to address the issue of improper K value determination and minimize the impact of initial centroid position of grayscale image during the gray level quantization of the conventional K-means algorithm. A total of 100 underwater images taken by an underwater robot were sampled to test the aforementioned algorithm in respect of background segmentation validity and time cost. The K value and initial centroid position of grayscale image were optimized. The results were compared to the other three existing algorithms, including the conventional K-means algorithm, the improved Otsu algorithm, and the Canny operator edge extraction method. The experimental results showed that the improved K-means underwater background segmentation algorithm could effectively segment the background of underwater images with a low color cast, low contrast, and blurred edges. Although its cost in time was higher than that of the other three algorithms, it none the less proved more efficient than the time-consuming manual segmentation method. The algorithm proposed in this paper could potentially be used in underwater environments for underwater background segmentation.
