Online Domain Adaptation for Multi-Object Tracking
Automatically detecting, labeling, and tracking objects in videos depends
first and foremost on accurate category-level object detectors. These might,
however, not always be available in practice, as acquiring high-quality large
scale labeled training datasets is either too costly or impractical for all
possible real-world application scenarios. A scalable solution consists in
re-using object detectors pre-trained on generic datasets. This work is the
first to investigate the problem of on-line domain adaptation of object
detectors for causal multi-object tracking (MOT). We propose to alleviate the
dataset bias by adapting detectors from category to instances, and back: (i) we
jointly learn all target models by adapting them from the pre-trained one, and
(ii) we also adapt the pre-trained model on-line. We introduce an on-line
multi-task learning algorithm to efficiently share parameters and reduce drift,
while gradually improving recall. Our approach is applicable to any linear
object detector, and we evaluate both cheap "mini-Fisher Vectors" and expensive
"off-the-shelf" ConvNet features. We quantitatively measure the benefit of our
domain adaptation strategy on the KITTI tracking benchmark and on a new dataset
(PASCAL-to-KITTI) we introduce to study the domain mismatch problem in MOT.Comment: To appear at BMVC 201
Detect to Track and Track to Detect
Recent approaches for high accuracy detection and tracking of object
categories in video consist of complex multistage solutions that become more
cumbersome each year. In this paper we propose a ConvNet architecture that
jointly performs detection and tracking, solving the task in a simple and
effective way. Our contributions are threefold: (i) we set up a ConvNet
architecture for simultaneous detection and tracking, using a multi-task
objective for frame-based object detection and across-frame track regression;
(ii) we introduce correlation features that represent object co-occurrences
across time to aid the ConvNet during tracking; and (iii) we link the frame
level detections based on our across-frame tracklets to produce high accuracy
detections at the video level. Our ConvNet architecture for spatiotemporal
object detection is evaluated on the large-scale ImageNet VID dataset where it
achieves state-of-the-art results. Our approach provides better single model
performance than the winning method of the last ImageNet challenge while being
conceptually much simpler. Finally, we show that by increasing the temporal
stride we can dramatically increase the tracker speed.Comment: ICCV 2017. Code and models:
