• Abstract summary: We propose a fully online multi-object tracking and segmentation (MOTS) method that uses instance segmentation results as an input. The proposed method is based on the Gaussian mixture probability hypothesis density (GMPHD) filter, a hierarchical data association (HDA), and a mask-based affinity fusion (MAF) model. In the experiments on the two popular MOTS datasets, the key modules show some improvements.

• Abstract: In this paper, we propose a highly practical fully online multi-object tracking and segmentation (MOTS) method that uses instance segmentation results as an input. The proposed method is based on the Gaussian mixture probability hypothesis density (GMPHD) filter, a hierarchical data association (HDA), and a mask-based affinity fusion (MAF) model to achieve high-performance online tracking. The HDA consists of two associations: segment-to-track and track-to-track associations. One affinity, for position and motion, is computed by using the GMPHD filter, and the other affinity, for appearance is computed by using the responses from a single object tracker such as a kernalized correlation filter. These two affinities are simply fused by using a score-level fusion method such as min-max normalization referred to as MAF. In addition, to reduce the number of false positive segments, we adopt mask IoU-based merging (mask merging). The proposed MOTS framework with the key modules: HDA, MAF, and mask merging, is easily extensible to simultaneously track multiple types of objects with CPU only execution in parallel processing. In addition, the developed framework only requires simple parameter tuning unlike many existing MOTS methods that need intensive hyperparameter optimization. In the experiments on the two popular MOTS datasets, the key modules show some improvements. For instance, ID-switch decreases by more than half compared to a baseline method in the training sets. In conclusion, our tracker achieves state-of-the-art MOTS performance in the test sets.

  Recent state-of-the-art one-stage instance segmentation model SOLO divides the input image into a grid and directly predicts per grid cell object masks with fully-convolutional networks. We observe SOLO generates similar masks for an object at nearby grid cells, and these neighboring predictions can complement each other as some may better segment certain object part. Motivated by the observed gap, we develop a novel learning-based aggregation method that improves upon SOLO by leveraging the rich neighboring information.

  We propose a highly effective method for learning instance embeddings based on segments by converting the compact image representation to un-ordered 2D point cloud representation. Our method generates a new tracking-by-points paradigm where discriminative instance embeddings are learned from randomly selected points rather than images. The resulting online MOTS framework, named PointTrack, surpasses all the state-of-the-art methods by large margins.

  Mask representation in instance segmentation with Point-of-Interest (PoI) features is challenging because learning a high-dimensional mask feature for each instance requires a heavy computing burden. We propose an instance-aware convolution, which decomposes this mask representation learning task into two tractable modules. Along with instance-aware convolution, we propose PointINS, a simple and practical instance segmentation approach.

Our main contribution is a blender module which draws inspiration from both top-down and bottom-up instance segmentation approaches. BlendMask can effectively predict dense per-pixel position-sensitive instance features with very few channels, and learn attention maps for each instance with merely one convolution layer.
