Summary: In the last few years, with the development of deep learning theory and person re-identification (re-id) methods, re-id techniques have achieved great breakthrough and gained high recognition accuracy in constrained environments. However, the existing re-id approaches perform poor in unconstrained environments and are still far from practical applications. There are many significant challenges in unconstrained environments, including lack of training samples, dramatic illumination variations, person occlusion and open-set tests, which significantly decrease the performance of re-id models. In this paper, we introduce the latest improvements, the involved datasets, the existing problems and the future trends of the unconstrained person re-identification techniques, especially for unsupervised re-id, visible-infrared re-id, occlusion re-id, and open-set re-id.
