ODSS-Net: Orthogonally Decoupled Shared-Specific Representations for Multi-Modal Object Re-Identification
Abstract
Multi-modal object re-identification (ReID) leverages complementary information from heterogeneous sensors. Cross-modal alignment and fusion remain challenging. Existing methods mainly reduce modality gaps via feature alignment and fusion. However, alignment may entangle modality-shared structural information with modality-specific cues, while conventional fusion may not fully exploit complementary information. To address these issues, we propose ODSS-Net, a framework for orthogonally decoupled shared-specific representation learning and adaptive fusion of complementary modality-specific features. First, a Shared Structural Feature Construction (SSFC) module suppresses modality-dependent appearance variations and extracts modality-shared structural information. Then, an Orthogonal Specific Feature Learning (OSFL) module aggregates identity-relevant local information and removes the shared-aligned component via geometric orthogonal projection. Finally, a Sample Adaptive Mixture of Experts (SAMoE) module uses the shared structure as routing context to adaptively refine and fuse modality-specific features. Experiments on three benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of ODSS-Net for multi-modal object ReID.
