Usage on the 2D MOT benchmark

Download the 2D MOT benchmark (data and development kit) from https://motchallenge.net/data/2D_MOT_2015/
Set the path of the MOT dataset in global.m
Run compile.m. OpenCV is needed.
For validataion, use MOT_cross_validation.m
For testing, use MOT_test.m

We provide our own detection using SubCNN [1] on the 2D MOT 2015 dataset here.

Important: make sure libsvm-3.20 in the 3rd_party directory is used. Other versions of libsvm may not be compatible with the code.

Usage on the KITTI tracking dataset

Download the KITTI tracking benchmark (data, development kit and detections) from http://www.cvlibs.net/datasets/kitti/eval_tracking.php
Check out the kitti branch
```
git checkout kitti
```
Set the path of the KITTI tracking dataset in global.m
Run compile.m. OpenCV is needed.
For validataion, use KITTI_cross_validation.m
For testing, use KITTI_test.m

We provide our own detection using SubCNN [1] on the KITTI tracking dataset here.
