• Abstract: In this paper, we introduce MVSparse, a novel and efficient framework for cooperative multi-person tracking across multiple synchronized cameras. The MVSparse system is comprised of a carefully orchestrated pipeline, combining edge server-based models with distributed lightweight Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents operating on individual cameras. These RL agents intelligently select informative blocks within each frame based on historical camera data and detection outcomes from neighboring cameras, significantly reducing computational load and communication overhead. The edge server aggregates multiple camera views to perform detection tasks and provides feedback to the individual agents. By projecting inputs from various perspectives onto a common ground plane and applying deep detection models, MVSparse optimally leverages temporal and spatial redundancy in multi-view videos. Notably, our contributions include an empirical analysis of multi-camera pedestrian tracking datasets, the development of a multi-camera, multi-person detection pipeline, and the implementation of MVSparse, yielding impressive results on both open datasets and real-world scenarios. Experimentally, MVSparse accelerates overall inference time by 1.88X and 1.60X compared to a baseline approach while only marginally compromising tracking accuracy by 2.27% and 3.17%, respectively, showcasing its promising potential for efficient multi-camera tracking applications.

  Multi-Camera Tracking tRansformer (MCTR) is a novel end-to-end approach tailored for multi-object detection and tracking across multiple cameras. MCTR leverages end-to-end detectors like DEtector TRansformer (DETR) to produce detections and detection embeddings independently for each camera view. The framework maintains set of track embeddings that encaplusate global information about the tracked objects, and updates them at every frame by integrating local information from the view-specific detection embeddings.
