Ground-to-Aerial Person Search: Benchmark Dataset and Approach

Here is the source code of our paper Ground-to-Aerial Person Search: Benchmark Dataset and Approach.
In this paper we are the first to construct a large-scale ground-to-aerial person search benchmark dataset, named G2APS, for the cross-platform ground-to-aerial person search. The dataset can be downloaded at here code 1357.
We are glad to see research on G2APS and new ideas for Ground-to-Aerial Person Search.

Besides, Head Knowledge Distillation(HKD) module is proposed in this paper to alliviate conflict exists in Optimization objective in detection and Re-ID subtasks.Finally, our method gain sota-of-the-art performance in G2APS,CUHK-SYSY and PRW.
