Abstract
Today re-identification of persons in disjoint camera views demand large human effort and resources. There is a need of autonomous re-identification systems.

This thesis has been focused on the development of autonomous re-identification systems based on recurrent neural networks able to analyze sequences of images of persons, enabling the possibility to filter out outliers within sequences and make use of spatio-temporal features. Through the development and evaluation of multiple network architectures and recurrent units a broad examination of the viability of recurrent neural networks in re-identification systems have been made.

Today re-identification of persons in disjoint camera views demand large human effort and resources. There is a need of autonomous re-identification systems.

This thesis has been focused on the development of autonomous re-identification systems based on recurrent neural networks able to analyze sequences of images of persons, enabling the possibility to filter out outliers within sequences and make use of spatio-temporal features. Through the development and evaluation of multiple network architectures and recurrent units a broad examination of the viability of recurrent neural networks in re-identification systems have been made.

This thesis has shown, analysis of sequences of images can significantly increase the performance of re-identification systems compared to analysis of single images, with a doubling of the re-identification performance in multiple cases. Non-dynamic features tend to dominate the heap of information from sequences used during re-identification.

A realistic benchmark dataset was created as part of the thesis. Evaluation on the benchmark dataset has shown, to achieve satisfactory performance in real-world scenarios of autonomous re-identification systems, based on recurrent neural networks, larger training datasets with greater variety are needed.
