一 背景

改算法来源于字节跳动实验室，其核心目的是为了解决 SORT 中的缺陷，其基本思想是：分别处理检测中的高分值目标与低分值目标，进行多层级的匹配，实现更好的分配与追踪效果。

二、算法原理

byte的主要作用是，解决了低检测分值匹配不准及物体短暂性遮挡的问题，其基本算法原理为：

1. 目标检测，对于视频数据而言，目标检测的算法与方式有 n 种，其输出结构都可以构造成 rect + centroid + score + label 的形式；
2. 根据 score 对检测结果进行划分，通过阈值判断，将检测结果分成 high score 与 low score 两个部分；
3. 初次匹配，将 high score 中的检测结果与原有轨迹进行匹配追踪（与 SORT 雷同），会有部分轨迹没有被匹配成功；
4. 再次匹配，将步骤3中剩余的轨迹与 low score 中的数据进行匹配；
5. 对于没有匹配上跟踪轨迹，得分又足够高的检测框，新建一个跟踪轨迹。对于没有匹配上检测框的跟踪轨迹，保留 m 帧，在其再次出现时再进行匹配；
   算法伪代码如下（来源于论文）：
   

三、代码解析
