In the field of human-computer interaction and visual surveillance, person re-identification is undoubtedly a key task. In this paper, we propose improved Siamese network for video-based person re-identification, which combines the verification model and the classification model, in a way that all the supervision information of the samples is fully utilized. The key frame extraction is able to select informative frames over the sequence, which removes occluded frames according to optical flow vector and measures the similarity of two adjacent frames' contents in terms of the block mutual information entropy. A convolutional network and long short-term memory joint training is used as a feature extractor to re-identify using the improved Siamese network framework. Experimental data on the iLIDS-VID and PRID-2011 datasets show that this approach is superior to existing video-based re-identification methods.
