The KITTI Vision Benchmark Suite

Online Multi-Object Tracking (MOT) has wide
applications in time-critical video analysis
scenarios, such as robot navigation and
autonomous driving. In tracking-by-detection, a
major challenge of online MOT is how to
robustly
associate noisy object detections on a new
video
frame with previously tracked objects. In this
work, we formulate the online MOT problem as
decision making in Markov Decision Processes
(MDPs), where the lifetime of an object is
modeled with a MDP. Learning a similarity
function for data association is equivalent to
learning a policy for the MDP, and the policy
learning is approached in a reinforcement
learning fashion which benefits from both
advantages of offline-learning and online-
learning for data association. Moreover, our
framework can naturally handle the birth/death
and appearance/disappearance of targets by
treating them as state transitions in the MDP
while leveraging existing online single object
tracking methods.
