• Abstract: Extended target tracking estimates the centroid and shape of the target in space and time. In various situations where extended target tracking is applicable, the presence of multiple targets can lead to interference, particularly when they maneuver behind one another in a sensor like a camera. Nonetheless, when dealing with multiple extended targets, there's a tendency for them to share similar shapes within a group, which can enhance their detectability. For instance, the coordinated movement of a cluster of aerial vehicles might cause radar misdetections during their convergence or divergence. Similarly, in the context of a self-driving car, lane markings might split or converge, resulting in inaccurate lane tracking detections. A well-known joint probabilistic data association coupled (JPDAC) filter can address this problem in only a single-point target tracking. A variation of JPDACF was developed by introducing a nonparametric Spatio-Temporal Joint Probabilistic Data Association Coupled Filter (ST-JPDACF) to address the problem for extended targets. Using different kernel functions, we manage the dependency of measurements in space (inside a frame) and time (between frames). Kernel functions are able to be learned using a limited number of training data. This extension can be used for tracking the shape and dynamics of nonparametric dependent extended targets in clutter when targets share measurements. The proposed algorithm was compared with other well-known supervised methods in the interfering case and achieved promising results.

  Multi-object tracking (MOT) is an essential technique for navigation in autonomous driving. Recently tracking methods are based on filtering algorithms that overlook outliers, leading to reduced tracking accuracy or even loss of the objects trajectory. We show that ConvUKF has a bounded tracking error in the presence of outliers, which implies robust stability.

  We propose a recoverable tracking framework, RTracker, that uses a tree-structured memory to dynamically associate a tracker and a detector to enable self-recovery. Specifically, we propose a Positive-Negative Tree-structured memory to chronologically store and maintain positive and negative target samples. Our core idea is to use the support samples of positive and negative target categories to establish a relative distance-based criterion for a reliable assessment of target loss.

  Multi-ship tracking (MST) as a core technology has been proven to be applied to situational awareness at sea and the development of a navigational system for autonomous ships. Despite impressive tracking outcomes achieved by multi-object tracking (MOT) algorithms for pedestrian and vehicle datasets, these models and techniques exhibit poor performance when applied to ship datasets. In this paper, we address the weaknesses of IoU by incorporating the smallest convex shapes that enclose both the predicted and detected bounding boxes.

  We propose a pseudo-depth estimation method for obtaining the relative depth of targets from 2D images.

By integrating the pseudo-depth method and the DCM strategy into the data association process, we propose a new tracker, called SparseTrack.

  The aim of in-trawl catch monitoring for use in fishing operations is to detect, track and classify fish targets in real-time from video footage.

Our method offers improved performance in tracking targets with uniform appearance and outperforms state-of-the-art techniques on our underwater fish datasets as well as the MOT17 dataset.

  Multi-object tracking (MOT) is a challenging task that involves detecting objects in the scene and tracking them across a sequence of frames.

We propose a multi-view higher order tracking metric (mvHOTA) to determine the accuracy of multi-point (multi-instance and multi-class) detection.
