Inferring Tracklets for Multi-Object Tracking

Problem

  • Recent algorithms solve the tracking problem hierarchically: first find short tracks (tracklets), then iteratively extend into longer tracks
  • How to optimally determine tracklets?

Approach

Diagram illustrating the construction of the DAG.
  • Consider object detections in a sliding window of frames (4-8 seconds)
  • Build an association graph (DAG), or detection graph (representing all possible associations over a sliding window), for each detection in the first frame of the sliding window
  • Label detections in this graph as valid (consistent with the initial detection) or invalid (inconsistent)
    • MAP inference in a Bayesian network
  • Generate track(s) from the resulting sequence of valid detections
