Distractor-aware discrimination learning for online multiple object tracking

作者:

Highlights:

• A distractor-aware discrimination learning model is proposed to facilitate online multi-object tracking to better differentiate one target from other targets and semantic backgrounds in the scenes.

• A relational attention learning mechanism is introduced to handle appearance variations of targets caused by large pose variations, object occlusions, and target interactions.

• A multi-stage tracking strategy is established within a temporal sliding window which leverages the object detection responses and tracker predictions to deal with trajectory drifting.

• Extensive experimental analyses and evaluations on the widely used challenging MOT16 and MOT17 benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
