Beyond the Survey: A Systematic Empirical Study of Detection and Association in Visual MOT
Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →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.
