Abstract
A re-identification system temporarily performs a re-identification process for determining whether two moving objects shown in a plurality of videos are identical or not. Similarities between the two moving objects in the re-identification process are ranked in consideration of a direction of each moving object. The rank is highest when the two moving objects are identical and the two moving objects are same in the direction. The rank is lowest when the two moving objects are not identical and the two moving objects are different in the direction. A ranking rule is that the rank is higher as the similarity is higher. The re-identification system calculates a degree of consistency between the ranking result and the ranking rule. Then, the re-identification system finally determines whether the two moving objects are identical or not based on the degree of consistency in addition to the similarities.
