Dynamic Gallery for Real-Time Multi-Target Multi-Camera Tracking

Abstract

For multi-target multi-camera recognition tasks, tracking of objects of interest is one of the essential yet challenging issues due to the fact that the task requires re-identifying identical targets across distinct views. Multi-target multi-camera tracking (MTMCT) applications span a wide range of variety (e.g. crowd behavior analysis, anomaly individual tracking and sport player tracking), so how to make the system perform real-time tracking becomes a crucial research issue. In this paper, we propose an online hierarchical algorithm for extreme clustering based MTMCT framework. The system can automatically create a dynamic gallery with real-time fashion by collecting appearance information of multi-object tracking in single-camera view. We evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of our framework, and compare the state-of-the-art methods on MOT16 as well as DukeMTMC for single and multiple camera tracking. The high-frame-rate performance and promising tracking results confirm our system can be used in realworld applications.
