Abstract

Multiple object tracking(MOT) is a fundamental problem in video analysis application. Associating unreliable detection in a complex environment is a challenging task. The accuracy of multiple object tracking algorithms is dependent on the accuracy of the first stage object detection algorithm. In this paper, we propose an improved algorithm of IOU Tracker–FIOU Tracker. Our proposal algorithm can overcome the shortcoming of IOU Tracker with a small amount of computing cost that heavily relies on the precision and recall of object detection accuracy. The algorithm we propose is based on the assumption that the motion of background inference is not obvious. We use the average light flux value of the track and the change rate of the light flux value of the center point of the adjacent object as the conditions to determine whether the trajectory is to be retained. The tracking accuracy is higher than the primary IOU Tracker and another well-known variant VIOU Tracker. Our proposal method can also significantly reduce the ID switch value and fragmentation value which are both important metrics in MOT task.
