Abstract: This paper proposes a vehicle re-identification method based on RWM and multi-scale attention to address the pro-blems of large intra class differences and high inter class similarity in existing vehicle re-identification tasks,which lead to insufficient key feature extraction and fusion of global and local features.Firstly,a Region Weighted Mapping(RWM) is designed to enhance the feature representation of key regions in the image,effectively reducing the interference of background information.Se-condly,based on the self attention mechanism of the Transformer structure,a multi-scale attention module(MAB) is introduced,which combines the large kernel receptive field and multi-scale characteristics to effectively model global structural information,while enhancing the expression ability of local details and improving the model's discriminative ability.Finally,a mixed loss function is constructed to optimize the feature learning process of the model,making the features of different categories of vehicles more distinguishable and improving generalization ability.Experiments on the proposed method are conducted on the VeRi-776 and VehicleID datasets.The CMC@1 values reach 97.4% and 85.8% respectively,while the CMC@5 values reach 98.9% and 97.7% respectively.The results show that the proposed method can extract more discriminative vehicle features.

Key words: Vehicle re-identification, Regional weighted mapping, Multi-scale large attention, Large nuclear receptive field
