Multiple object tracking (MOT) is an important technology in the field of computer vision, which is widely used in automatic driving, intelligent monitoring, behavior recognition and other directions. Among the current popular MOT methods based on deep learning, Detection Based Tracking (DBT) is the most widely used in industry, and the performance of them depend on their object detection network. At present, the DBT algorithm with good performance and the most widely used is YOLOv5-DeepSORT. Inspired by YOLOv5-DeepSORT, with the proposal of YOLOv7 network, which performs better in object detection, we apply YOLOv7 as the object detection part to the DeepSORT, and propose YOLOv7-DeepSORT. After experimental evaluation, compared with the previous YOLOv5-DeepSORT, YOLOv7-DeepSORT performances better in tracking accuracy.
