Training query-propagation end-to-end multi-object tracking (MOT) models requires dense bounding-box and identity annotations across video sequences, making dataset construction expensive. Clip-level active learning reduces this cost by selecting video clips for annotation, but prior acquisition criteria based on output-level temporal uncertainty may miss clips whose informativeness comes from association instability in propagated track states.

arXiv:2603. 24016v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Multi-Object Tracking (MOT) has traditionally focused on a few specific categories, restricting its applicability to real-world scenarios involving diverse objects.
This paper conducts a systematic empirical study of multi‑object tracking (MOT) algorithms, focusing on how detection and association components affect overall performance. By evaluating state‑of‑the‑art methods on benchmarks such as MOT16/17/20, SportsMOT, DanceTrack, and CrowdTrack, the authors find that detection quality has a far greater impact than association strategies, and that transformer‑based end‑to‑end models are more robust to detection variations but computationally expensive. The study provides a unified pipeline diagram and practical guidance for researchers and practitioners in selecting and designing MOT systems.
TQD-Track introduces Temporal Query Denoising (TQD) for 3D Multi‑Object Tracking, extending query denoising beyond single frames by initializing denoising queries from previous‑frame ground truths and propagating them as independent association candidates. The method enriches track queries with temporal context and instance‑specific features, and incorporates diverse noise types to emulate real‑world tracking challenges. Experiments on nuScenes and Argoverse 2 show consistent improvements across multiple MOT baselines with only training‑process modifications.
Segmentation-based multi-object tracking (MOT) with foundation video models such as SAM2 offers strong localization quality, yet remains fragile in crowded, real-world scenes. In detector-prompted SAM...

arXiv:2602. 14771v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The human visual system tracks objects by integrating current observations with previously observed information, adapting to target and scene changes, and reasoning about occlusion at fine granularity.
ReWorld-Track introduces a recursive event world model for language‑guided multi‑camera tracking that explicitly carries association uncertainty into future predictions. By treating candidate matches and waiting as alternative target states, the model updates a persistent recurrent belief that preserves uncertainty across successive observations. This approach improves identity continuity and next‑camera accuracy, achieving HOTA scores of 65.19 on CityFlowV2 and 45.36 on MTMMC, and reducing median arrival‑time error from 0.78 s to 0.71 s.
