| Summary: | Baggage travelling on a conveyor belt in the sterile area (the rear collector located after the check-in counters) often gets stuck due to traffic jams, mainly caused by incorrect entries from the check-in counters on the collector belt. Using suitcase appearance captured on the Baggage Handling System (BHS) and airport checkpoints and their re-identification allows for us to handle baggage safer and faster. In this paper, we propose a Siamese Neural Network-based model that is able to estimate the baggage similarity: given a set of training images of the same suitcase (taken in different conditions), the network predicts whether the two input images belong to the same baggage identity. The proposed network learns discriminative features in order to measure the similarity among two different images of the same baggage identity. It can be easily applied on different pre-trained backbones. We demonstrate our model in a publicly available suitcase dataset that outperforms the leading latest state-of-the-art architecture in terms of accuracy.
