Person re-identification (Re-ID) can determine whether a pedestrian target can be matched across diverse regions or cameras, thereby alleviating the problem between massive surveillance data and inefficient manual retrieval. Inspired by attribute-person recognition (APR) network, this paper proposes an improved Re-ID method based on attribute learning, which uses an attribute-guided attention mechanism module and an attribute dependency learning module to learn fine-grained attribute features and rich dependencies among them. After that, a joint model with the integration of attribute recognition and person identity recognition is built for end-to-end training. Experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively improve Re-ID accuracy and achieve a competitive recognition performance.
