Multi-Target Tracking by Online Learning of Non-Linear Motion Patterns and Robust Appearance Models

Abstract

We describe an online approach to learn non-linear motion patterns and robust appearance models for multi-target tracking in a tracklet association framework. Unlike most previous approaches that use linear motion methods only, we online build a non-linear motion map to better explain direction changes and produce more robust motion affinities between tracklets. Moreover, based on the incremental learned entry/exit map, a multiple instance learning method is devised to produce strong appearance models for tracking; positive sample pairs are collected from different track-lets so that training samples have high diversity. Finally, using online learned moving groups, a tracklet completion process is introduced to deal with tracklets not reaching entry/exit points. We evaluate our approach on three public data sets, and show significant improvements compared with state-of-art methods.
