Tracking by Prediction: A Deep Generative Model for Mutli-Person localisation and Tracking
Current multi-person localisation and tracking systems have an over reliance
on the use of appearance models for target re-identification and almost no
approaches employ a complete deep learning solution for both objectives. We
present a novel, complete deep learning framework for multi-person localisation
and tracking. In this context we first introduce a light weight sequential
Generative Adversarial Network architecture for person localisation, which
overcomes issues related to occlusions and noisy detections, typically found in
a multi person environment. In the proposed tracking framework we build upon
recent advances in pedestrian trajectory prediction approaches and propose a
novel data association scheme based on predicted trajectories. This removes the
need for computationally expensive person re-identification systems based on
appearance features and generates human like trajectories with minimal
fragmentation. The proposed method is evaluated on multiple public benchmarks
including both static and dynamic cameras and is capable of generating
outstanding performance, especially among other recently proposed deep neural
network based approaches.Comment: To appear in IEEE Winter Conference on Applications of Computer

EchoFusion: Tracking and Reconstruction of Objects in 4D Freehand Ultrasound Imaging without External Trackers
Ultrasound (US) is the most widely used fetal imaging technique. However, US
images have limited capture range, and suffer from view dependent artefacts
such as acoustic shadows. Compounding of overlapping 3D US acquisitions into a
high-resolution volume can extend the field of view and remove image artefacts,
which is useful for retrospective analysis including population based studies.
However, such volume reconstructions require information about relative
transformations between probe positions from which the individual volumes were
acquired. In prenatal US scans, the fetus can move independently from the
mother, making external trackers such as electromagnetic or optical tracking
unable to track the motion between probe position and the moving fetus. We
provide a novel methodology for image-based tracking and volume reconstruction
by combining recent advances in deep learning and simultaneous localisation and
mapping (SLAM). Tracking semantics are established through the use of a
Residual 3D U-Net and the output is fed to the SLAM algorithm. As a proof of
concept, experiments are conducted on US volumes taken from a whole body fetal
phantom, and from the heads of real fetuses. For the fetal head segmentation,
we also introduce a novel weak annotation approach to minimise the required
manual effort for ground truth annotation. We evaluate our method
qualitatively, and quantitatively with respect to tissue discrimination
accuracy and tracking robustness.Comment: MICCAI Workshop on Perinatal, Preterm and Paediatric Image analysis

Memory Based Online Learning of Deep Representations from Video Streams
We present a novel online unsupervised method for face identity learning from
video streams. The method exploits deep face descriptors together with a memory
based learning mechanism that takes advantage of the temporal coherence of
visual data. Specifically, we introduce a discriminative feature matching
solution based on Reverse Nearest Neighbour and a feature forgetting strategy
that detect redundant features and discard them appropriately while time
progresses. It is shown that the proposed learning procedure is asymptotically
stable and can be effectively used in relevant applications like multiple face
identification and tracking from unconstrained video streams. Experimental
results show that the proposed method achieves comparable results in the task
of multiple face tracking and better performance in face identification with
offline approaches exploiting future information. Code will be publicly
available.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1708.0361
Towards a Principled Integration of Multi-Camera Re-Identification and Tracking through Optimal Bayes Filters
With the rise of end-to-end learning through deep learning, person detectors
and re-identification (ReID) models have recently become very strong.
Multi-camera multi-target (MCMT) tracking has not fully gone through this
transformation yet. We intend to take another step in this direction by
presenting a theoretically principled way of integrating ReID with tracking
formulated as an optimal Bayes filter. This conveniently side-steps the need
for data-association and opens up a direct path from full images to the core of
the tracker. While the results are still sub-par, we believe that this new,
tight integration opens many interesting research opportunities and leads the
way towards full end-to-end tracking from raw pixels.Comment: First two authors have equal contribution. This is initial work into
