In order to resist the adverse effect of viewpoint variations, we design quadruple directional deep learning networks to extract quadruple directional deep learning features (QD-DLF) of vehicle images for improving vehicle re-identification performance. The quadruple directional deep learning networks are of similar overall architecture, including the same basic deep learning architecture but different directional feature pooling layers. Specifically, the same basic deep learning architecture that is a shortly and densely connected convolutional neural network is utilized to extract the basic feature maps of an input square vehicle image in the first stage. Then, the quadruple directional deep learning networks utilize different directional pooling layers, i.e., horizontal average pooling layer, vertical average pooling layer, diagonal average pooling layer, and anti-diagonal average pooling layer, to compress the basic feature maps into horizontal, vertical, diagonal, and anti-diagonal directional feature maps, respectively. Finally, these directional feature maps are spatially normalized and concatenated together as a quadruple directional deep learning feature for vehicle re-identification. The extensive experiments on both VeRi and VehicleID databases show that the proposed QD-DLF approach outperforms multiple state-of-the-art vehicle re-identification methods.
