Issues related to track IDs #119

Open zhoutianxiang-coder opened 6 months ago

Which part of the code matches the object ID between the previous frame and the current frame

zhoutianxiang-coder commented 6 months ago

Does the class and related loss calculation in the code represent different IDs or different classifications?

zhoutianxiang-coder commented 6 months ago

What are the differences between the ID matching process of this model and algorithms like sort?

zhoutianxiang-coder commented 6 months ago

How does the output of the target association process network include tracks_ ID information

timmeinhardt commented 6 months ago
  1. At inference time, we do not match. The track queries transfer the identities implicitly. During training, the matching happens here: https://github.com/timmeinhardt/trackformer/blob/e468bf156b029869f6de1be358bc11cd1f517f3c/src/trackformer/models/detr_tracking.py#L81
  2. The class loss represents different classes. IDs are not explicitly enforced by the loss.
  3. During inference, sort matches IDs based on some costs. We do not match IDs during inference time.
  4. Our network does not output track ids.

Your questions indicate a misunderstanding of how TrackFormer generates tracks. We do not perform any matching at inference time. The track queries re-detect objects and thereby transfer identities from frame to frame. Maybe have another look at the related sections in the paper.

Where does the information of trackID come from?

zhoutianxiang-coder commented 6 months ago

Track_ Where is the initialization of ID information reflected in the code

zhoutianxiang-coder commented 5 months ago

Whenever a new detection object appears, how to assign an ID number to the new object, and what part of the code does it correspond to?

zhoutianxiang-coder commented 5 months ago

In the paper, it is mentioned that the correlation of trajectories occurs in attention, how to correlate the trajectories of the front and back frames, and where is the specific code embodied?
