Abstract

Pedestrian attribute recognition has received

increasing attention due to its important role

in video surveillance applications. However,

most existing methods are designed for a fixed

set of attributes. They are unable to handle

the incremental few-shot learning scenario, i.e.

adapting a well-trained model to newly added

attributes with scarce data, which commonly

exists in the real world. In this work, we

present a meta learning based method to address

this issue. The core of our framework

is a meta architecture capable of disentangling

multiple attribute information and generalizing

rapidly to new coming attributes. By conducting

extensive experiments on the benchmark

dataset PETA and RAP under the incremental

few-shot setting, we show that our method is

able to perform the task with competitive performances

and low resource requirements.
