Abstract

Numerous ways to improve the power of tracking algorithms have emerged in modern multi-object tracking problems. Tracking-by-detection, On the other hand, is one of the most precise approaches in the field, balancing the trade-off between precision and run-time. This method divides the tracking process into two steps: the detection process to localize objects in the image and the tracking process to assign identity for each response from the object detector. In this study, we optimize the tracking process by generalizing the BYTE technique (Cascade Association) and integrating camera-motion compensation to the Association stage. Our new tracker KCM-Track, sets a new state-of-the-art accuracy on MOT17 dataset in terms of the primary MOT metrics: MOTA, IDF1, and HOTA. On MOT17 test sets: \(\mathbf{80.6}\%\) MOTA, \(\mathbf{79.7}\%\) IDF1, and \(\mathbf{64.6}\%\) HOTA are achieved at \(\textbf{314}\) FPS for the tracking process.
