• Abstract: In recent years, anchor-free object detection models combined with matching algorithms are used to achieve real-time muti-object tracking and also ensure high tracking accuracy. However, there are still great challenges in multi-object tracking. For example, when most part of a target is occluded or the target just disappears from images temporarily, it often leads to tracking interruptions for most of the existing tracking algorithms. Therefore, this study offers a bi-directional matching algorithm for multi-object tracking that makes advantage of bi-directional motion prediction information to improve occlusion handling. A stranded area is used in the matching algorithm to temporarily store the objects that fail to be tracked. When objects recover from occlusions, our method will first try to match them with objects in the stranded area to avoid erroneously generating new identities, thus forming a more continuous trajectory. Experiments show that our approach can improve the multi-object tracking performance in the presence of occlusions. In addition, this study provides an attentional up-sampling module that not only assures tracking accuracy but also accelerates training speed. In the MOT17 challenge, the proposed algorithm achieves 63.4% MOTA, 55.3% IDF1, and 20.1 FPS tracking speed.

  We propose a pseudo-depth estimation method for obtaining the relative depth of targets from 2D images. Secondly, we design a depth cascading matching (DCM) algorithm, which can use the obtained depth information to convert a dense target set into multiple sparse target subsets. By integrating the pseudo-depth method and the DCM strategy into the data association process, we propose a new tracker, called SparseTrack.

The Kalman Filter based on the detection confidence is used to update the motion state to improve the tracking performance when the detection has low confidence.

  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.

• 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.

  We present Quasi-Dense Similarity Learning, which densely samples hundreds of object regions on a pair of images for contrastive learning. We find that the resulting distinctive feature space admits a simple nearest neighbor search at inference time for object association. We show that our similarity learning scheme is not limited to video data, but can learn effective instance similarity even from static input.

  Multiple Object Tracking (MOT) detects the trajectories of multiple objects given an input video.

We propose an appearance-free tripartite matching to avoid the irregular velocity problem of the bipartite matching.
