Methods of Tracking an Arbitrary Number of Objects in Real-Time on a Mobile Platform

Abstract

The problem of choosing methods for tracking recognized objects in real-time for systems with limited hardware capabilities is considered. It was determined that for such scenarios, it is appropriate to integrate tracking methods into the device, bypassing data transmission via the Internet. Existing methods of tracking an arbitrary number of objects in real-time are considered. Among the performance evaluation metrics, the following were used: MOTA, MOTP, F1, MT, ML, ID, and FM. Based on the primary analysis of the effectiveness of such methods according to the metrics mentioned above, it was proposed to use the V-IOU tracking method to track recognized objects on a mobile platform in a mobile cyber-physical system. Key words: V-IOU, Arbitrary Object Class Tracking, Mobile Platform, Real-Time, MOTA, MOTP, Cyber-Physical System.
