End-to-end multiple object tracking (MOT) has been very popular recently in the field of computer vision. However, when performing the inter-frame data association, the majority of algorithms ignore the diversity among trajectories and treat them uniformly. In the joint-detection-and-tracking (JDT) paradigm, there exists an optimization conflict between detection and re-identification due to their different optimization directions. In this paper, we propose a dynamic trajectory quantification (DTQ) strategy for MOT with feature rearrangement. Initially, the DTQ strategy quantifies each trajectory to show its quality, and the score is renewed every frame. To adapt to different situations, we dynamically adopt different updating mechanisms. Additionally, we provide a channel-enhanced feature rearrangement module to alleviate the optimization conflict between subtasks in the JDT paradigm, which obtains more convincing detection results for the DTQ strategy. We evaluate our proposed tracker on several benchmarks, i.e., MOT15, MOT16, MOT17, and MOT20. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that our method achieves competitive results while still maintaining a sizable real-time tracking speed. |
