Deep multi-shot network for modelling appearance similarity in multi-person tracking applications

The automatization of Multi-Object Tracking becomes a demanding task in real unconstrained scenarios, where the algorithms have to deal with crowds, crossing people, occlusions, disappearances and presence visually similar individuals. In those circumstances, data association between incoming detections their corresponding identities could miss some tracks or produce identity switches. order reduce these tracking errors, even propagation further frames, this article presents Deep Multi-Shot neural model for measuring Degree Appearance Similarity (MS-DoAS) person observations. This provides temporal consistency individuals’ appearance representation, an affinity metric perform frame-by-frame association, allowing online tracking. has been deliberately trained be able manage previous switches missed observations handled tracks. With that purpose, novel generation tool designed create training tracklets simulate such situations. demonstrated high capacity discern whether new observation corresponds certain track not, achieving classification accuracy 97% hard test simulates mistakes. Moreover, efficiency Surveillance application by integrating into Tracking-by-Detection algorithm.
