MotionTrack: Learning Motion Predictor for Multiple Object Tracking
share
Significant advancements have been made in multi-object tracking (MOT) with the development of detection and re-identification (ReID) techniques. Despite these developments, the task of accurately tracking objects in scenarios with homogeneous appearance and heterogeneous motion remains challenging due to the insufficient discriminability of ReID features and the predominant use of linear motion models in MOT. In this context, we present a novel learnable motion predictor, named MotionTrack, which comprehensively incorporates two levels of granularity of motion features to enhance the modeling of temporal dynamics and facilitate accurate future motion prediction of individual objects. Specifically, the proposed approach adopts a self-attention mechanism to capture token-level information and a Dynamic MLP layer to model channel-level features. MotionTrack is a simple, online tracking approach. Our experimental results demonstrate that MotionTrack yields state-of-the-art performance on demanding datasets such as SportsMOT and Dancetrack, which feature highly nonlinear object motion. Notably, without fine-tuning on target datasets, MotionTrack also exhibits competitive performance on conventional benchmarks including MOT17 and MOT20.
