Abstract:
Most of online multiple object tracking methods consist of two subtasks, detection and embedding, and thus they need two different networks. To reduce the complexity, recent methods for tracking persons integrate these two subtasks into a unified network. In this talk, we cover two topics. Firstly, different from the above methods focusing on designing networks, we explore the online association strategy to better associate the tracks with the detected objects after performing detection and extracting embedding features from the detected objects. Secondly, we propose a unified network for face detection and embedding, and then use the proposed association strategy for multiple face tracking.
