About this paper

Paul Johannes Claasen, Johan Pieter de Villiers

Researchers at the University of Pretoria developed IMM-JHSE, an online Multi-Object Tracking algorithm that leverages a single initial homography estimate to enhance tracking robustness and affordability. The method jointly estimates target ground plane states and homography dynamics, achieving improved accuracy on datasets like DanceTrack and KITTI-car by dynamically adapting to camera motion and out-of-ground-plane object movement.

Key insights

  • Incorporating a single initial homography estimate into a joint state vector, dynamically updated, can effectively bridge 2D and 3D MOT benefits, outperforming purely 2D methods without full 3D data requirements.
  • Decoupling camera motion from target motion by directly including the homography in the track state and dynamically estimating it resolves a key modeling limitation, leading to more accurate ground plane tracking.
  • An "IMM-like" adaptive association strategy, blending ground-plane and image-plane information, provides robustness to targets temporarily leaving the ground plane, maintaining track identities in dynamic scenes.
