Morphology
reidentification = identification (semi-transparent) = re + ident + ification
The prefix 're-' straightforwardly adds the meaning 'again' to 'identification'.
Etymology
Reidentification combines re- ('again') and identify ('to show who someone or something is'), like checking an ID once more. So it means identifying something again to confirm or correct a previous identification.
