Abstract

Mishandled checked baggage remains a recurrent issue in airport operations, and current recovery workflows still largely rely on tag-based tracking, which does not directly support visual identification when tag evidence is missing or unavailable. This paper investigates baggage re-identification as an instance-level retrieval problem in a multi-camera setting, leveraging DINOv3 foundation-model representations to match a query image against a gallery of registered baggage images. A Torchreid-style BNNeck re-identification head is placed on top of a DINOv3 backbone, and parameter-efficient adaptation is performed via LoRA. Experiments are conducted on the MVB benchmark using a progressive study that compares a fully frozen backbone against LoRA and fine-tuning strategies. Results indicate that parameter-efficient adaptation of foundation-model features provides an effective and stable approach for multi-view baggage re-identification under limited training data.
