• Title: TopTrack: Tracking Objects By Their Top
• Authors: Jacob Meilleur and Guillaume-Alexandre Bilodeau
• Abstract summary: TopTrack is a joint detection-and-tracking method that uses the top of the object as a keypoint for detection instead of the center. We performed experiments to show that using the object top as a keypoint for detection can reduce the amount of missed detections.

• Abstract: In recent years, the joint detection-and-tracking paradigm has been a very popular way of tackling the multi-object tracking (MOT) task. Many of the methods following this paradigm use the object center keypoint for detection. However, we argue that the center point is not optimal since it is often not visible in crowded scenarios, which results in many missed detections when the objects are partially occluded. We propose TopTrack, a joint detection-and-tracking method that uses the top of the object as a keypoint for detection instead of the center because it is more often visible. Furthermore, TopTrack processes consecutive frames in separate streams in order to facilitate training. We performed experiments to show that using the object top as a keypoint for detection can reduce the amount of missed detections, which in turn leads to more complete trajectories and less lost trajectories. TopTrack manages to achieve competitive results with other state-of-the-art trackers on two MOT benchmarks.

  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.

  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.

  This paper proposes a multi-object tracker based on shape constraint and confidence named SCTracker. Intersection of Union distance with shape constraints is applied to calculate the cost matrix between tracks and detections. 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.

  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.

  Multi-object tracking (MOT) aims at estimating bounding boxes and identities of objects in videos. Most methods obtain identities by associating detection boxes whose scores are higher than a threshold. We present a simple, effective and generic association method, called BYTE, tracking BY associaTing every detection box instead of only the high score ones.
