摘要

Online multi-object tracking is a fundamental problem in time-critical video analysis applications. A major challenge in the popular tracking-by-detection framework is how to associate unreliable detection results with existing tracks. In this paper, we propose to handle unreliable detection by collecting candidates from outputs of both detection and tracking. The intuition behind generating redundant candidates is that detection and tracks can complement each other in different scenarios. Detection results of high confidence prevent tracking drifts in the long term, and predictions of tracks can handle noisy detection caused by occlusion. In order to apply optimal selection from a considerable amount of candidates in real-time, we present a novel scoring function based on a fully convolutional neural network, that shares most computations on the entire image. Moreover, we adopt a deeply learned appearance representation, which is trained on largescale person re-identification datasets, to improve the identification ability of our tracker. Extensive experiments show that our tracker achieves real-time and state-of-the-art performance on a widely used people tracking benchmark.

在线多目标跟踪是实时视频分析应用中的一个基本问题。在流行的按检测跟踪框架中，一个主要的挑战是如何将不可靠的检测结果与现有的跟踪关联起来。在这篇论文中，我们建议通过从检测和跟踪的输出中收集候选项来处理不可靠的检测。产生冗余候选者背后的直觉是，检测和跟踪可以在不同的情况下互补。高置信度的检测结果可以长期防止跟踪漂移，轨迹预测可以处理遮挡引起的噪声检测。为了实时从大量候选图像中进行最优选择，我们提出了一种基于全卷积神经网络的新颖评分函数，该函数共享了整个图像的大部分计算。此外，我们采用深度学习的外观表示，并在大规模的人再识别数据集上训练，以提高我们的跟踪器的识别能力。大量的实验表明，我们的跟踪器在一个广泛使用的人跟踪基准上实现了实时和最先进的性能。
