• Title: End-to-end Tracking with a Multi-query Transformer
• Authors: Bruno Korbar and Andrew Zisserman
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: 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, that perform well on datasets where the object classes are known, to class-agnostic tracking that performs well also for unknown object classes.To this end, we make the following three contributions: first, we introduce {\em semantic detector queries} that enable an object to be localized by specifying its approximate position, or its appearance, or both; second, we use these queries within an auto-regressive framework for tracking, and propose a multi-query tracking transformer (\textit{MQT}) model for simultaneous tracking and appearance-based re-identification (reID) based on the transformer architecture with deformable attention. This formulation allows the tracker to operate in a class-agnostic manner, and the model can be trained end-to-end; finally, we demonstrate that \textit{MQT} performs competitively on standard MOT benchmarks, outperforms all baselines on generalised-MOT, and generalises well to a much harder tracking problems such as tracking any object on the TAO dataset.

Specifically, with our introduced multi-object representation strategy, a global response map can be accurately generated over frames. Experimental results based on the MOT16 and MOT17 benchmarks show that our proposed on-line tracker achieved state-of-the-art performance on several tracking metrics.

  Tracking Any Object dataset consists of 2,907 high resolution videos, captured in diverse environments, which are half a minute long on average. We ask annotators to label objects that move at any point in the video, and give names to them post factum. Our vocabulary is both significantly larger and qualitatively different from existing tracking datasets.
