contents Aerial-Ground Person Re-identification (AGPReID) holds significant practical value but faces unique challenges due to pronounced variations in viewing angles, lighting conditions, and background interference. Traditional methods, often involving a global analysis of the entire image, frequently lead to inefficiencies and susceptibility to irrelevant data. In this paper, we propose a novel Dynamic Token Selective Transformer (DTST) tailored for AGPReID, which dynamically selects pivotal tokens to concentrate on pertinent regions. Specifically, we segment the input image into multiple tokens, with each token representing a unique region or feature within the image. Using a Top-k strategy, we extract the k most significant tokens that contain vital information essential for identity recognition. Subsequently, an attention mechanism is employed to discern interrelations among diverse tokens, thereby enhancing the representation of identity features. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets showcases the superiority of our method over existing works. Notably, on the CARGO dataset, our proposed method gains 1.18% mAP improvements when compared to the second place. In addition, we comprehensively analyze the impact of different numbers of tokens, token insertion positions, and numbers of heads on model performance.
