arXiv:2607. 17157v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-object tracking (MOT) aims to localize multiple objects in videos while preserving their identities over time.
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.
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.
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.
arXiv:2606. 07233v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LiDAR-based 3D Multi-Object Tracking (MOT) typically relies solely on geometric information, which is often insufficient to distinguish between targets during prolonged occlusions or in crowded human-populated environments.
The paper introduces Privileged Appearance Transfer for Tracking (PATT), a teacher‑student framework that leverages exact target crops from past, current, and future frames during training to improve visual tracking. By weighting the teacher’s guidance with its localization advantage and accuracy, PATT transfers privileged appearance information to a deployable tracker that only uses past‑frame templates at inference. Experiments on seven benchmarks show consistent performance gains across both long‑ and short‑term tracking protocols.
