Abstract
Multi-Object Tracking is one of the most important technologies in maritime computer vision. Our solution tries to explore Multi-Object Tracking in maritime Unmanned Aerial vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) usage scenarios. Most of the current Multi-Object Tracking algorithms require complex association strategies and association information (2D location and motion, 3D motion, 3D depth, 2D appearance) to achieve better performance, which makes the entire tracking system extremely complex and heavy. At the same time, most of the current Multi-Object Tracking algorithms still require video annotation data which is costly to obtain for training. Our solution tries to explore Multi-Object Tracking in a completely unsupervised way. The scheme accomplishes instance representation learning by using self-supervision on ImageNet. Then, by cooperating with high-quality…
