Abstract
A method of generating a training sample for matching unlabelled objects in a sequence of images. A first representation of unlabelled objects is generated from images of a first and second set of images. A second representation of the unlabelled objects is generated using an unsupervised method. An anchor image in the first set is selected. A first set of candidate images in the second set that are close to the anchor image in both the first and second representations, is determined. A second set of candidate images in the second set that are distant from the anchor image in either the first or the second representations, is determined. A match candidate image is selected from the first set or the second set of candidate images. The training sample is generated from at least the anchor image and the match candidate image.
