FGAGT: Flow-Guided Adaptive Graph Tracking
share
Multi-object tracking (MOT) has always been a very important research direction in computer vision and has great applications in autonomous driving, video object behavior prediction, traffic management, and accident prevention. Recently, some methods have made great progress on MOT, such as CenterTrack, which predicts the trajectory position based on optical flow then tracks it, and FairMOT, which uses higher resolution feature maps to extract Re-id features. In this article, we propose the FGAGT tracker. Different from FairMOT, we use Pyramid Lucas Kanade optical flow method to predict the position of the historical objects in the current frame, and use ROI Pooling<cit.> and fully connected layers to extract the historical objects' appearance feature vectors on the feature maps of the current frame. Next, input them and new objects' feature vectors into the adaptive graph neural network to update the feature vectors. The adaptive graph network can update the feature vectors of the objects by combining historical global position and appearance information. Because the historical information is preserved, it can also re-identify the occluded objects. In the training phase, we propose the Balanced MSE LOSS to balance the sample distribution. In the Inference phase, we use the Hungarian algorithm for data association. Our method reaches the level of state-of-the-art, where the MOTA index exceeds FairMOT by 2.5 points, and CenterTrack by 8.4 points on the MOT17 dataset, exceeds FairMOT by 7.2 points on the MOT16 dataset.
