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.

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.

The paper introduces MvT, a training‑free multi‑view pipeline for event‑camera based multiple object tracking. MvT preserves the 2‑D event format while generating three complementary spatio‑temporal views, then fuses them into a 3‑D coordinate system to resolve tracking ambiguities that arise in single‑view pseudo‑frames. Experiments on four datasets, including a new Small Objects Dataset, show that MvT outperforms both non‑learning and learning trackers and can be applied when ground‑truth annotations are unavailable.
