Abstract

Multi-object tracking (MOT) becomes an attractive topic due to its wide range of usability in video surveillance and traffic monitoring. Recent improvements on MOT has focused on tracking-by-detection manner. However, as a relatively complicated and integrated computer vision mission, state-of-the-art tracking-by-detection techniques are still suffering from issues such as a large number of false-positive tracks. To reduce the effect of unreliable detections on vehicle tracking, in this paper, we propose to incorporate a low confidence track filtering into the Simple Online and Realtime Tracking with a Deep association metric (Deep SORT) algorithm. We present a self-generated UA-DETRAC vehicle re-identification dataset which can be used to train the convolutional neural network of Deep SORT for data association. We evaluate our proposed tracker on UA-DETRAC test dataset. Experimental results show that the proposed method can improve the original Deep SORT algorithm with a significant margin. Our tracker outperforms the state-of-the-art online trackers and is comparable with batch-mode trackers.
