• Abstract: Multi-Object Tracking over humans has improved rapidly with the development of object detection and re-identification. However, multi-actor tracking over humans with similar appearance and nonlinear movement can still be very challenging even for the state-of-the-art tracking algorithm. Current motion-based tracking algorithms often use Kalman Filter to predict the motion of an object, however, its linear movement assumption can cause failure in tracking when the target is not moving linearly. And for multi-players tracking over the sports field, because the players in the same team are usually wearing the same color of jersey, making re-identification even harder both in the short term and long term in the tracking process. In this work, we proposed a motionbased tracking algorithm and three post-processing pipelines for three sports including basketball, football, and volleyball, we successfully handle the tracking of the non-linear movement of players on the sports fields. Experiments result on the testing set of ECCV DeeperAction Challenge SportsMOT Dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of our method, which achieves a HOTA of 73.968, ranking 3rd place on the 2022 Sportsmot workshop final leaderboard.

  We introduce an enhancement to the TrackNet family by fusing high-level visual features with learnable motion attention maps. Our approach leverages frame differencing maps, modulated by a motion prompt layer, to highlight key motion regions over time. We refer to our lightweight, plug-and-play solution, built on top of the existing TrackNet, as TrackNetV4.

  We propose a novel online and robust multi-object tracking approach named deep ExpansionIoU (Deep-EIoU) for sports scenarios. Unlike conventional methods, we abandon the use of the Kalman filter and leverage the iterative scale-up ExpansionIoU and deep features for robust tracking in sports scenarios. Our proposed method demonstrates remarkable effectiveness in tracking irregular motion objects, achieving a score of 77.2% on the SportsMOT dataset and 85.4% on the SoccerNet-Tracking dataset.

  Multi-object tracking (MOT) aims at estimating bounding boxes and identities of objects across video frames. We propose a hierarchical data association strategy to mine the true objects in low-score detection boxes. In 3D scenarios, it is much easier for the tracker to predict object velocities in the world coordinate.

  The paper presents a multi-camera tracking method intended for tracking soccer players in long shot video recordings from multiple calibrated cameras installed around the playing field. The large distance to the camera makes it difficult to visually distinguish individual players, which adversely affects the performance of traditional solutions. Our method focuses on individual player dynamics and interactions between neighborhood players to improve tracking performance.
