In order to better analyze the influence of a Local Feature Discrimination (LFD) loss function and a Cascade Feature Discrimination (CFD) loss function in a model on the discriminability of the learning local features of the model, the result of a pre-training network JLFEN is taken as the reference of an experiment, the experiment analysis is respectively carried out in a typical data set Market-1501 and a DukeMTMC-reiD, the experiment result shows that the values of an evaluation index average precision value mAP and a matching rate top-k are obviously improved after the LFD loss function is used for learning, and the values of mAP and top-k are also improved after the CFD loss function is used, so that the effective discrimination of the CFD loss function on the local features of different pedestrians with similar appearances in a pedestrian image is shown. Finally, two loss functions are reasonably combined, and the results of the mAP and the top-k are obviously superior to those of the other two combination modes, wherein the mAP value is improved by 8.7%, the top-1 value is improved by 8.3%, the top-5 value is improved by 6.3%, and the top-15 value is improved by 5.5% in the Market-1501 data set; the mAP value in the Duke MTMC-reiD data set is improved by 7.2%, the top-1 value is improved by 7.5%, the top-5 value is improved by 2.8%, and the top-15 value is improved by 1.7%.

The values of the parameters in the loss function also have a certain influence on the performance of the model. Through experiments in different data sets, the values of the weight parameter lambda in the FJD loss function, the selection of the parameter K in the LFD loss function and the selection of the parameter n in the CFD loss function are analyzed, and the influence of the selection of the parameter K in the LFD loss function and the influence of the selection of the parameter n in the CFD loss function on the model performance are respectively analyzed. The experimental method controls other parameters to be unchanged, the values of the other parameters are respectively explored, and the first hit rate top-1 is used as an evaluation index for analysis. It was found that when K is 15, the top-1 value is relatively good.
The CFD loss function also plays an important role in distinguishing the model learning characteristics, wherein the better most difficult negative sample is found, so that the model learning characteristics can be effectively improved, the unsupervised model robustness is enhanced, and therefore, the influence of the selection of the parameter n in the nearest neighbor top-n in the sample on the cascade characteristic distinguishing loss function is analyzed through experiments. Because two negative samples are needed in CFD loss function learning, when the n value is too small, the obtained samples are insufficient, the loss function learns the positive sample as the negative sample by mistake, so that the learning performance of the model is reduced, when the n value is gradually increased, the performance of the model is increased and then reduced, the larger the n value is, because the learned samples are enough, the model can easily find the most difficult sample, the learning difficulty of the model is reduced, and when n is 6, the model can obtain good performance.
From the above results, the parameter K is 15, n is 6 to control the variables, and the parameter λ is analyzed experimentally, and it can be seen in fig. 3 that in different data sets, as the λ value is gradually increased, the results of the average precision value mAP and the first hit rate top-1 are increased and then decreased, wherein at λ 2, the modeling performance is the best.
