Online pedestrian tracking via saliency-based H-S histogram
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Object tracking is one of the most important topics in computer vision. While the state-of-the-art tracking algorithms achieved great success, there are still some challenging problems to be solved. Firstly, it remains a tough task to develop a tracking algorithm with both accuracy and efficiency. Secondly, the ground truth is often given by a rectangular bounding box, which contains not only the target, but also the background pixels. The background pixels in the initial bounding box will mislead the appearance model of the target. Thirdly, most features for representing the target only use the gray scale information, and are not robust to pedestrians. The third problem is especially serious when the targets are pedestrians, which have colorful cloths on them, and change their pose and shape while walking. In this paper, we propose a novel saliency-based H-S histogram algorithm. Saliency detection can efficiently delete most of the background pixels, which makes the appearance model more accurate. H-S histogram is a statistic-based feature, which is more robust to shape deformation, and the color information is considered in the H-S channels. Experiments on Caltech pedestrian database show the proposed method can handle some hard cases, and achieves a higher success rate.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
