arXiv:2606.09362v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Re-Identification (ReID) in autonomous driving is typically formulated as a visual matching problem, where observations of vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists are associated across time, frames, or camera views using learned appearance embeddings, often complemented by motion, geometric, or multimodal cues. However, purely visual representations may be sensitive to viewpoint, occlusion, illumination, and sensor-domain variations, limiting their interpretability and robustness in complex driving scenes. We propose a baseline study of a zero-shot
Ongoing advancements in large vision-language models (VLMs) and the increasing complexity of autonomous driving scenarios necessitate more robust and interpretable re-identification technologies.
Improved semantic re-identification enhances the safety, reliability, and generalizability of autonomous driving systems by addressing limitations of traditional visual matching.
Autonomous vehicles could achieve more robust object recognition and tracking in diverse and challenging conditions, moving beyond purely visual representations towards semantic understanding.
