The paper presents a new RSS‑based localization system that tracks ultra‑light, low‑power receivers across complex landscapes. By using a minimal number of RSS measurements from rotating high‑gain transmitters and probabilistic modeling, the system achieves about 15 m accuracy for 38 mg receivers over a 300 m range while consuming less than 180 µW. Increasing RSS measurements improves accuracy to roughly 10 m at under 600 µW, and the method is demonstrated on tracking Bombus terrestris nest return flights.
BMCTrack-d is a novel tracking-by-detection method that uses unique back marks on pigs to achieve robust re-identification and tracking in challenging side-view camera settings. The approach employs a neural network-based back mark classifier followed by temporal consistency checks and deduplication to improve identity reliability over time. On a demanding test set, BMCTrack-d outperforms strong baselines, achieving higher-order tracking accuracy gains of 9.11% and 1.03%.
ByteTraX is a lightweight enhancement to the ByteTrack multi‑object tracking architecture that introduces a single unified matching threshold and stricter track initiation criteria to reduce erroneous track reclassification and identity switches. The method yields consistent performance gains across several benchmarks—GMOT‑40, LC‑MOT, SportsMOT, TeamTrack, DAMUNT, and DeepSea‑MOT—while boosting processing speed by over 10%. Quantitatively, ByteTraX achieves more than a 40% drop in identity switches, with mean improvements of 3.6 in HOTA, 5.6 in IDF1, and 6.3 FPS.
The ByteTrack algorithm is a widely used and computationally efficient multi-object tracking architecture. Its core innovation lies in the combination of lenient bounding box associations with trackle...
BMCTrack-d is a novel tracking‑by‑detection system that uses unique back marks on pigs to enable reliable re‑identification and tracking in challenging side‑view camera settings. The approach combines a neural network back‑mark classifier with two post‑processing stages—temporal prediction consistency checks and deduplication—to improve identity reliability over time. On a demanding test set, BMCTrack‑d outperforms strong baselines (BoT‑SORT‑ReID and TrackTrack‑ReID) by 9.11% and 1.03% in higher‑order tracking accuracy, demonstrating the effectiveness of back‑mark‑based re‑identification for individual‑level pig monitoring.

The paper evaluates the new YOLO26 architecture, which offers NMS-free end-to-end inference and is tailored for CPU-based edge devices, against three earlier Ultralytics models (YOLOv5u, YOLOv8, and YOLO11) in aquaculture fish mortality detection. Across nano, small, and medium scales, all models achieved similar detection accuracy on a full dataset, but differences emerged in data efficiency and deployment performance: YOLOv8 reached 90% mAP50 with only 400 images, while YOLO26 variants needed 1,000 images; YOLO26n was fastest on a Raspberry Pi 5 (7.51 FPS), whereas YOLOv5mu led on CPU-based hardware. The study concludes that architectural novelty alone does not dictate suitability for edge AI in aquaculture; training data size, target hardware, and inference needs must be jointly considered.

Deploying modern video trackers at scale is bottlenecked by the computational cost of RGB-based object detectors. To this end, we present MVTrack, an ultrafast tracker for moving objects that operates directly on H.
arXiv:2606. 10940v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Camera traps have become a cornerstone of biodiversity monitoring, but the artificial intelligence that turns vast quantities of images into usable ecological data is often locked behind commercial platforms or trained on fauna that does not match that of the British Isles.
