Localization-Based Tracking
share
End-to-end production of object tracklets from high resolution video in real-time and with high accuracy remains a challenging problem due to the cost of object detection on each frame. In this work we present Localization-based Tracking (LBT), an extension to any tracker that follows the tracking by detection or joint detection and tracking paradigms. Localization-based Tracking focuses only on regions likely to contain objects to boost detection speed and avoid matching errors. We evaluate LBT as an extension to two example trackers (KIOU and SORT) on the UA-DETRAC and MOT20 datasets. LBT-extended trackers outperform all other reported algorithms in terms of PR-MOTA, PR-MOTP, and mostly tracked objects on the UA-DETRAC benchmark, establishing a new state-of-the art. relative to tracking by detection with KIOU, LBT-extended KIOU achieves a 25 PR-MOTA on the UA-DETRAC dataset. LBT-extended SORT achieves a 62 a 3.2 KIOU has a 50 accurate in terms of MOTA. As of submission time, our LBT-extended KIOU tracker places 10th overall on the MOT20 benchmark.
