Abstract

The correct associations of detections and tracklets are the key to online multi-person tracking. Good appearance models can guide data association and play an important role in the association. In this paper, we construct a discriminative appearance model by using metric learning which can obtain accurate appearance affinities with human appearance variations. The novel appearance model can significantly guide data association. Furthermore, the model is learned incrementally according to the association results and its parameters are automatically updated to be suitable for the next online tracking. Based on an online tracking-by-detection framework, our method achieves reliable tracking of multiple persons even in complex scenes. Our experimental evaluation on publicly available data sets shows that the proposed online multiperson tracking method works well.
