• Abstract: The study of collective animal behavior, especially in aquatic environments, presents unique challenges and opportunities for understanding movement and interaction patterns in the field of ethology, ecology, and bio-navigation. The Fish Tracking Challenge 2024 (https://ftc-2024.github.io/) introduces a multi-object tracking competition focused on the intricate behaviors of schooling sweetfish. Using the SweetFish dataset, participants are tasked with developing advanced tracking models to accurately monitor the locations of 10 sweetfishes simultaneously. This paper introduces the competition's background, objectives, the SweetFish dataset, and the appraoches of the 1st to 3rd winners and our baseline. By leveraging video data and bounding box annotations, the competition aims to foster innovation in automatic detection and tracking algorithms, addressing the complexities of aquatic animal movements. The challenge provides the importance of multi-object tracking for discovering the dynamics of collective animal behavior, with the potential to significantly advance scientific understanding in the above fields.

  We propose a novel approach for tracking schools of fish in the open ocean from drone videos. Our framework not only performs classical object tracking in 2D, instead it tracks the position and spatial expansion of the fish school in world coordinates by fusing video data and the drone's on board sensor information (GPS and IMU) The presented framework for the first time allows researchers to study collective behavior of fish schools in its natural social and environmental context in a non-invasive and scalable way.
