DetReIDX: A Stress-Test Dataset for Real-World UAV-Based Person Recognition Kailash A. Hambarde, Nzakiese Mbongo, MP Pavan Kumar, Satish Mekewad, Carolina Fernandes, Gökhan Silahtaroğlu, Alice Nithya, Pawan Wasnik, MD. Rashidunnabi, Pranita Samale, Hugo Proença IEEE Transactions on Biometrics Behavior and Identity Science, 2026 Person reidentification (ReID) technology is considered to perform relatively well under controlled, ground-level conditions, but also to break down when deployed in challenging <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">real-world</i> settings. This is due to extreme data variability factors such as resolution, viewpoint changes, scale variations, occlusions, and appearance shifts from clothing/session drifts. Also, the publicly available data sets do not realistically incorporate such kinds and magnitudes of variability, which limits the progress of this technology. This paper introduces <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">DetReIDX</i>, a large-scale aerial-ground person dataset, that was explicitly designed as a stress test to ReID under real-world conditions. <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">DetReIDX</i> is a multi-session set that includes over 18 million bounding boxes from 553 identities, collected in seven university campuses from three continents, with drone altitudes between 5.8 and 120 meters. Singularly, as a key novelty, <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">DetReIDX</i> subjects were recorded in (at least) two sessions on different days, with changes in clothing, daylight and location, making it suitable to actually evaluate <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">long-term</i> person ReID. Further, data were annotated from 16 soft biometric attributes and multitask labels for detection, tracking, ReID, and action recognition. In order to provide empirical objective evidence of <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">DetReIDX</i> usefulness, we considered the specific tasks of human detection, ReID and tracking, and observed that SOTA methods catastrophically degrade performance (up to 80% in detection accuracy and over 70% in Rank-1 ReID) when exposed to <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">DetReIDX</i>’s conditions. The dataset, annotations, and official evaluation protocols are publicly available at https://www.it.ubi.pt/DetReIDX/.
Propagation of knowledge from crisp and soft clustering through a granular hierarchy Pawan Lingras, P. Bhalchandra, S. Khamitkar, S. Mekewad, R. Rathod Proceedings of the 2012 12th International Conference on Hybrid Intelligent Systems His 2012, 2012 Information granules allow us to abstract real world objects using their relevant attributes. Level of abstraction allows us to create a network of information granules that are connected to each other through a real-world relationship. For example, the phone calls are connected to the origin and destination phone numbers. This paper describes the relationship between clustering schemes by propagating the information through the connection between granules. We focus on the hierarchical granular graphs, where phone numbers represent the higher level (coarser) granules that are connected to phone calls which are lower level (finer) granules. The paper studies the effect of transferring crisp and fuzzy clustering schemes through the granular hierarchy. The fuzzy clustering is shown to provide a better technique for such a transfer. Rough clustering derived from fuzzy clustering is shown to be a good instrument for comparing crisp and fuzzy clustering schemes.
