Existing person search methods mainly focus on searching for the target person using database images. However, this is different from real-world surveillance videos which involve a temporal relationship between video frames. To solve this problem, we propose an efficient person search method that employs spatio-temporal features in surveillance videos. This method not only considers the spatial features of persons in each frame, but also utilizes the temporal relationship of the same person between adjacent frames. For this purpose, the spatial features are extracted by combining Yolo network with Resnet-50 model, and the temporal relationship is processed by gated recurrent unit. The spatio-temporal features are generated by the following average pooling layer and used to represent persons in the videos. To ensure search efficiency, locality sensitive hashing is used to organize massive spatio-temporal features and calculate the similarity. A surveillance video database is also constructed to evaluate the proposed method, and the experimental results demonstrate that our method improves search accuracy while ensuring search efficiency.
