Cross-resolution person re-identification (CR-ReID) aims to match images of the same person with different resolutions in different scenarios. Existing CR-ReID methods achieve promising performance by relying on large-scale manually annotated identity labels. However, acquiring manual labels requires considerable human effort, greatly limiting the flexibility of existing CR-ReID methods. To address this issue, we propose a dual-resolution fusion modeling (DRFM) framework to tackle the CR-ReID problem in an unsupervised manner. Firstly, we design a cross-resolution pseudo-label generation (CPG) method, which initially clusters high-resolution images and then obtains reliable identity pseudo-labels by fusing class vectors in both resolution spaces. Subsequently, we develop a cross-resolution feature fusion (CRFF) module to fuse features from both high-resolution and low-resolution spaces. The fusion features have the potential to serve as a new form of resolution-invariant features. Finally, we introduce cross-resolution contrastive loss and probability sharpening loss in DRFM to facilitate resolution-invariant learning and effectively utilize ambiguous samples for optimization. Experimental results on multiple CR-ReID datasets demonstrate that the proposed DRFM not only outperforms existing unsupervised methods but also approaches the performance of early supervised methods.
