Multiple Hypothesis Tracking Revisited

Abstract

This paper revisits the classical multiple hypotheses tracking (MHT) algorithm in a tracking-by-detection framework. The success of MHT largely depends on the ability to maintain a small list of potential hypotheses, which can be facilitated with the accurate object detectors that are currently available. We demonstrate that a classical MHT implementation from the 90's can come surprisingly close to the performance of state-of-the-art methods on standard benchmark datasets. In order to further utilize the strength of MHT in exploiting higher-order information, we introduce a method for training online appearance models for each track hypothesis. We show that appearance models can be learned efficiently via a regularized least squares framework, requiring only a few extra operations for each hypothesis branch. We obtain state-of-the-art results on popular tracking-by-detection datasets such as PETS and the recent MOT challenge.

  • Multiple Hypothesis Tracking (MHT) techniques enable storage of various masks as memory at each time step and delay association decision to obtain video-level optimal result.

    “These techniques, widely adopted in the tracking community, enable the storage of various masks as memory at each time step and delay the association decision to obtain video-level optimal result.”
  • Multiple Hypothesis Tracking (MHT) stands out as a robust paradigm that maintains tree search to construct and manage memory.

    “Among these, Multiple Hypothesis Tracking (MHT) [15,32,51] stands out as a robust paradigm that maintains tree search to construct and manage memory.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
