Due to better video quality and higher frame rate, the performance of multiple object tracking issues has been greatly improved in recent years. However, in real application scenarios, camera motion and noisy per frame detection results degrade the performance of trackers significantly. High-speed and high-quality multiple object trackers are still in urgent demand. In this paper, we propose a new multiple object tracker following the popular tracking-by-detection scheme. We tackle the camera motion problem with an optical flow network and utilize an auxiliary tracker to deal with the missing detection problem. Besides, we use both the appearance and motion information to improve the matching quality. The experimental results on the VisDrone-MOT dataset show that our approach can improve the performance of multiple object tracking significantly while achieving a high efficiency.

For many real applications, it is equally important to detect objects accurately and quickly. In this paper, we propose an accurate and efficient single shot object detector with feature aggregation and enhancement (FAENet). Our motivation is to enhance and exploit the shallow and deep feature maps of the whole network simultaneously. To achieve it we introduce a pair of novel feature aggregation modules and two feature enhancement blocks, and integrate them into the original structure of SSD. Extensive experiments on both the PASCAL VOC and MS COCO datasets demonstrate that the proposed method achieves much higher accuracy than SSD. In addition, our method performs better than the state-of-the-art one-stage detector RefineDet on small objects and can run at a faster speed.
