• Authors: Tim Meinhardt, Alexander Kirillov, Laura Leal-Taixe, Christoph Feichtenhofer
• Abstract summary: TrackFormer is an end-to-end multi-object tracking and segmentation model based on an encoder-decoder Transformer architecture. New track queries are spawned by the DETR object detector and embed the position of their corresponding object over time. TrackFormer achieves a seamless data association between frames in a new tracking-by-attention paradigm.

• Abstract: We present TrackFormer, an end-to-end multi-object tracking and segmentation model based on an encoder-decoder Transformer architecture. Our approach introduces track query embeddings which follow objects through a video sequence in an autoregressive fashion. New track queries are spawned by the DETR object detector and embed the position of their corresponding object over time. The Transformer decoder adjusts track query embeddings from frame to frame, thereby following the changing object positions. TrackFormer achieves a seamless data association between frames in a new tracking-by-attention paradigm by self- and encoder-decoder attention mechanisms which simultaneously reason about location, occlusion, and object identity. TrackFormer yields state-of-the-art performance on the tasks of multi-object tracking (MOT17) and segmentation (MOTS20). We hope our unified way of performing detection and tracking will foster future research in multi-object tracking and video understanding. Code will be made publicly available.

  Multi-object tracking (MOT) endeavors to precisely estimate identities and positions of multiple objects over time. Modern detectors may occasionally miss some objects in certain frames, causing trackers to cease tracking prematurely. We propose BUSCA, meaning to search', a versatile framework compatible with any online TbD system.

• Tracking by Associating Clips [110.08925274049409]
  In this paper, we investigate an alternative by treating object association as clip-wise matching. Our new perspective views a single long video sequence as multiple short clips, and then the tracking is performed both within and between the clips. The benefits of this new approach are two folds. First, our method is robust to tracking error accumulation or propagation, as the video chunking allows bypassing the interrupted frames. Second, the multiple frame information is aggregated during the clip-wise matching, resulting in a more accurate long-range track association than the current frame-wise matching.

  Multiple-object tracking (MOT) is a challenging task that requires simultaneous reasoning about location, appearance, and identity of the objects in the scene over time. Our aim in this paper is to move beyond tracking-by-detection approaches, to class-agnostic tracking that performs well also for unknown object classes.

Our method sets several new state-of-the-art records on prevalent tracking benchmarks.
