Does Appearance Help? A Systematic Study of Image-Based Re-Identification in Online 3D Multi-Pedestrian Tracking

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.

LiAM-SAM: Lifecycle-Aware Memory for Robust SAM2-Based MOT

LiAM‑SAM is a lifecycle‑aware memory framework designed to improve segmentation‑based multi‑object tracking (MOT) with the SAM2 foundation video model. It addresses three common failure modes—faulty track initiation, memory drift during close interactions, and unreliable re‑identification after occlusion—by introducing contrastive track initiation, motion‑ and geometry‑grounded memory correction, and adaptive context memory. The system achieves state‑of‑the‑art HOTA and IDF1 scores, with ablations showing significant gains in association metrics and a 96% reduction in identity switches.

Video Individual Counting and Tracking from Moving Drones: A Benchmark and Methods

The paper introduces MovingDroneCrowd++, a large-scale video dataset for dense crowd counting and tracking from moving drones, featuring varied flight altitudes, camera angles, and lighting. It presents two new methods: GD3A for Video Individual Counting and GIA-Track for Multi-Object Tracking, both leveraging group-wise density assignment and identity association to handle aerial challenges. Experiments demonstrate significant improvements, reducing counting error by 47.4% and boosting tracking accuracy by 64.6%.
