Matching Cars with Siamese Networks – Gab41

Lab41 just finished Pelops, a vehicle re-identification project using data from fixed video cameras. Last time I talked about "chipping", that is extracting an image of a vehicle from a frame of video automatically. We found that background subtraction worked OK based on the small amount of labeled data we had. In this post I'll go over the rest of the pipeline: feature extraction and vehicle matching. Machine learning algorithms operate on a vector of numbers.
