Pedestrian multiple-object tracking based on FairMOT and circle loss

Abstract Multi-object Tracking is an important issue that has been widely investigated in computer vision. However, in practical applications, moving targets are often occluded due to complex changes in the background, which leads to frequent pedestrian ID switches in multi-object tracking. To solve...

description Abstract Multi-object Tracking is an important issue that has been widely investigated in computer vision. However, in practical applications, moving targets are often occluded due to complex changes in the background, which leads to frequent pedestrian ID switches in multi-object tracking. To solve the problem, we present a multi-object tracking algorithm based on FairMOT and Circle Loss. In this paper, HRNet is adopted as the baseline. Then, Polarized Self-Attention is added to HRNet-w32 to obtain weights of helpful information based on its modeling advantages. Moreover, the re-identification branch is optimized, and the Circle Loss is selected as the loss function to acquire more discriminative pedestrian features and to distinguish different pedestrians. The method proposed is assessed on the public MOT17 datasets. The experimental results show that the MOTA score achieves 69.5%, IDF1 reaches 70.0%, and the number of ID switches (IDs) decreases 636 times compared to the TraDes algorithm.
