TRIM-ReID: Duplication-Aware Token Reduction and Modality-Aligned Interaction for Multi-Modal Object Re-Identification
Multi-modal object re-identification exploits complementary RGB, near-infrared (NIR), and thermal-infrared (TIR) observations to retrieve target objects. However, existing methods commonly employ visual encoders optimized for global image-text alignment and select tokens using learned importance scores. Such designs fa …
