Method and system for performing content aware multi-object tracking

Abstract

Multi-object tracking (MOT) in video sequences plays a critical role in various computer vision applications. The primary objective of MOT is to accurately localize and track objects across consecutive frames. However, existing MOT approaches often suffer from computational limitations and low frame rates in commodity machines, which hinders real-time performance. Present disclosure provides method and system for performing content aware multi-object tracking. The system first classifies video into slow and fast moving object content videos depending on features of objects to be tracked in frames. Then, system applies a computationally intensive deep sort algorithm to perform tracking of objects by selectively skipping frames. Thereafter, the system applies linear approximate Kalman prediction for slow object content videos and quadratic interpolation for fast object content videos as low computation tracking techniques for tracking objects present in skipped frames, thus significantly improving execution speed while reducing computational load on the system.
