Beyond Pixels: Leveraging Geometry and Shape Cues for Online Multi-Object TrackingAuthors: Sarthak Sharma,Junaid Ahmed Ansari,Krishna Murthy J,Madhava Krishna Conference: International Conference on Robotics and Automation ICRA 2018 Date: 2018-05-21 Report no: IIIT/TR/2018/37 AbstractThis paper introduces geometry and novel object shape and pose costs for multi-object tracking in road scenes. Using images from a monocular camera alone, we devise pairwise costs for object tracks, based on several 3D cues such as object pose, shape, and motion. The proposed costs are agnostic to the data association method and can be incorporated into any optimization framework to output the pairwise data associations. These costs are easy to implement, can be computed in real-time, and complement each other to account for possible errors in a tracking-by-detection framework. We perform an extensive analysis of the designed costs and empirically demonstrate consistent improvement over the state-of-the-art under varying conditions that employ a range of object detectors, exhibit a variety in camera and object motions, and, more importantly, are not reliant on the choice of the association framework. We also show that, by using the simplest of associations frameworks (two-frame Hungarian assignment), we surpass the state-of-the-art in multi-object-tracking on road scenes. More qualitative and quantitative results can be found at https://junaidcs032.github.io/Geometry_ ObjectShape_MOT/. Code and data to reproduce our experiments and results are now available at https://github. com/JunaidCS032/MOTBeyondPixels. Full paper: pdf Centre for Robotics |
