Update (December 2018):

Demo

Several demo scripts are included to reproduce the reported results on the UA-DETRAC and the MOT 16/17 benchmarks.

Basic demo script:

$ ./demo.py -h
usage: demo.py [-h] -d DETECTION_PATH -o OUTPUT_PATH [-sl SIGMA_L]
               [-sh SIGMA_H] [-si SIGMA_IOU] [-tm T_MIN]

IOU Tracker demo script

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -d DETECTION_PATH, --detection_path DETECTION_PATH
                        full path to CSV file containing the detections
  -o OUTPUT_PATH, --output_path OUTPUT_PATH
                        output path to store the tracking results (MOT
                        challenge devkit compatible format)
  -sl SIGMA_L, --sigma_l SIGMA_L
                        low detection threshold
  -sh SIGMA_H, --sigma_h SIGMA_H
                        high detection threshold
  -si SIGMA_IOU, --sigma_iou SIGMA_IOU
                        intersection-over-union threshold
  -tm T_MIN, --t_min T_MIN
                        minimum track length

Example for the MOT17-04 sequence (detections can be downloaded here):

./demo.py -d ../mot17/train/MOT17-04-SDP/det/det.txt -o res/iou-tracker/MOT17-04-SDP.txt

DETRAC

To reproduce the reported results, download and extract the DETRAC-toolkit and the detections you want to evaluate. Download links for the EB and Mask R-CNN detections are provided below. Clone this repository into "DETRAC-MOT-toolkit/trackers/". Follow the instructions to configure the toolkit for tracking evaluation and set the tracker name in "DETRAC_experiment.m":

tracker.trackerName = 'iou-tracker';

and run the script.

Note that you still need a working python environment with numpy installed. You should obtain something like the following results for the 'DETRAC-Train' set:

DETRAC-Test (Overall) Results

The reference results are taken from the UA-DETRAC results site. Only the best tracker / detector combination is displayed for each reference method.

EB detections

The public detections of EB are not available on the DETRAC training set and miss some low scoring detections. The EB detections we used for the tables above and our publication are available here:

Mask R-CNN detections

These detections are generated using a recent Mask R-CNN implementation trained on COCO. Only bounding boxes for COCOs car, bus and truck classes are included. Note that the detector is called "frcnn" (use options.detectorSet = {'frcnn'}; in initialize_environment.m).

MOT17

The IOU Tracker was evaluated on the MOT17 benchmark as well. To determine the best parameters for each detector, an exhaustive search of the parameter space was performed similar to the one of the MOT16 evaluation reported in the paper. The best configuration for the training sequences is:

Detector sigma_l sigma_h sigma_iou t_min
DPM -0.5 0.5 0.4 4
FRCNN 0.0 0.9 0.3 3
SPD 0.4 0.5 0.2 2

To generate the MOT17 results listed at MOT17 results, use the mot17.py script. Note that the parameters from above are hard-coded in the script for your convenience.

usage: mot17.py [-h] -m SEQMAP -o RES_DIR -b BENCHMARK_DIR

IOU Tracker MOT17 demo script. The best parameters for each detector are
hardcoded.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -m SEQMAP, --seqmap SEQMAP
                        full path to the seqmap file to evaluate
  -o RES_DIR, --res_dir RES_DIR
                        path to the results directory
  -b BENCHMARK_DIR, --benchmark_dir BENCHMARK_DIR
                        path to the sequence directory

Examples (you will probably need to adapt the paths):

./mot17.py -m ../motchallenge/seqmaps/c10-train.txt -o ../motchallenge/res/MOT17/iou-tracker -b ../data/mot17/train
./mot17.py -m ../motchallenge/seqmaps/c10-test.txt -o ../motchallenge/res/MOT17/iou-tracker -b ../data/mot17/test

MOT16

To reproduce the reported MOT16 results of the paper, use the mot16.py script:

$ ./mot16.py -h
usage: mot16.py [-h] -m SEQMAP -o RES_DIR -b BENCHMARK_DIR [-sl SIGMA_L]
                [-sh SIGMA_H] [-si SIGMA_IOU] [-tm T_MIN]

IOU Tracker MOT demo script. Default parameters are set to reproduce the
results using the SDP detections.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -m SEQMAP, --seqmap SEQMAP
                        full path to the seqmap file to evaluate
  -o RES_DIR, --res_dir RES_DIR
                        path to the results directory
  -b BENCHMARK_DIR, --benchmark_dir BENCHMARK_DIR
                        path to the sequence directory
  -sl SIGMA_L, --sigma_l SIGMA_L
                        low detection threshold
  -sh SIGMA_H, --sigma_h SIGMA_H
                        high detection threshold
  -si SIGMA_IOU, --sigma_iou SIGMA_IOU
                        intersection-over-union threshold
  -tm T_MIN, --t_min T_MIN
                        minimum track length

Examples (you will probably need to adapt the paths):

# SDP:
./mot16.py -m ../motchallenge/seqmaps/sdp-train.txt -o ../motchallenge/res/MOT16/iou-tracker -b ../data/mot17/train

# FRCNN:
./mot16.py -m ../motchallenge/seqmaps/frcnn-train.txt -o ../motchallenge/res/MOT16/iou-tracker -b ../data/mot17/train -sl 0 -sh 0.9 -si 0.3 -tm 5

The seqmap files can be found under "seqmaps" and need to be copied to the respective directory of the motchallenge devkit. You should obtain something like the following results for the train set:
