Environment:1 core @ 2.5 Ghz (Python + C/C++)

Method Description:
We propose a network flow based optimization method for data association needed for multiple object tracking. The maximum-a-posteriori (MAP) data association problem is mapped into a cost-flow network with a non-overlap constraint on trajectories. The optimal data association is
found by a min-cost flow algorithm in the network.
Re-Implementation of this method without the Explicit Occlusion model.
Parameters:
None

Detailed Results

From all 29 test sequences, our benchmark computes the HOTA tracking metrics (HOTA, DetA, AssA, DetRe, DetPr, AssRe, AssPr, LocA) [1] as well as the CLEARMOT, MT/PT/ML, identity switches, and fragmentation [2,3] metrics. The tables below show all of these metrics.
