TrackEverything: Long Horizon Dense Tracking via De-Duplicating 3D Scene Representations

TrackEverything is a 3D point tracker that overcomes the trade‑off between sparse long‑horizon tracking and dense short‑clip tracking by representing videos as persistent 3D scene tracks in world coordinates. It introduces voxel‑based de‑duplication at sliding‑window boundaries, a two‑stage refinement process (endpoint refiner and lightweight trajectory refiner), and a 3D WAFT module that replaces memory‑heavy 4D correlation volumes with efficient feature sampling. The method can track all visible points in videos longer than 1000 frames using only 40 GB of GPU memory, outperforming existing dense trackers on short clips and matching sparse trackers on long sequences.

Beyond the Image Plane: World-Grounded Queries for Multi-Object Tracking

The paper introduces PLANET, a multi‑object tracker that transcends traditional image‑plane limitations by incorporating 3D scene geometry into its query formation. By lifting 2D tracking datasets into 3D and embedding reconstructed geometry into features and positional encodings, PLANET encourages queries to encode object positions. An auxiliary 3D location prediction task and a dual‑resolution temporal memory further enhance performance, enabling state‑of‑the‑art results on three diverse benchmarks.

TAPVid-MV: A Benchmark for Tracking Any Point in 3D Across Multiple Views

TAPVid-MV is a new benchmark for tracking any point in 3D across multiple synchronized camera views. It comprises 284 sequences, 1,142 calibrated camera streams, and 109,769 point tracks, covering indoor and outdoor domains and derived from various modalities such as depth, LiDAR, SLAM, and simulation. The dataset is visually verified, and evaluation shows that current multi‑view trackers do not consistently outperform monocular trackers, highlighting geometry recovery as a key bottleneck.

OmniGlimpse: Asymmetric Identity Memory for Online Multi-View Tracking

OmniGlimpse introduces an asymmetric propose‑verify framework for online multi‑view tracking, separating short‑term adaptive association from long‑term stable identity consolidation. It maps short‑term local and cross‑view evidence into target‑specific adaptive spaces for proposing associations, while maintaining long‑term identity distributions in a canonical space defined by a frozen encoder for verification. The method achieves significant gains over the best online baseline on M3Track and MvMHAT, outperforming offline‑trained references in IDF1 without any offline scene‑specific training.
