Method Description:
In this work we rethink the widely used“tracking
by detection"(TBD) paradigm. We analyze several
typical tracking failure cases of existing TBD
algorithms.

To solve those failure cases, we design three
novel modules: 1) confidence-guided tracking
before detection module, 2) trajectory outlier
detection module, 3) motion-model-based trajectory
smoother.

Comprehensive experimental results on KITTI
Dataset and nuScenes Dataset shows that our final
method could achieve new SOTA results with these
plug-in modules.

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.
