Abstract
In this paper, we present a new multiple hypotheses tracking (MHT) approach. Our tracking method is suitable for online applications, because it labels objects at every frame and estimates the best computed trajectories up to the current frame. In this work we address the problems of object merging and splitting (occlusions) and object fragmentations. Object fragmentation resulting from imperfect background subtraction can easily be confused with splitting objects in a scene, especially in close range surveillance applications. This subject is not addressed in most MHT methods. In this work, we propose a framework for MHT which distinguishes fragmentation and splitting using their spatial and temporal characteristics and by generating hypotheses only for splitting cases using observation in later frames. This approach results in a more accurate data association and a reduced size of the hypothesis graph. Our tracking method is evaluated with various indoor videos.

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 it
