Multi-Object Tracking

A task that maintains both localization and identity continuity for multiple objects over time in video.

Multi-object tracking is critical for crowded and dynamic real-world scenes. The system must not only detect objects but also maintain the correct identity for each across time. Occlusion, exits from the scene, and similar appearances make the task challenging in crowded environments. It is a core component in smart-city systems, retail analytics, traffic management, and surveillance.
