To overcome challenges in multiple-object tracking (MOT) tasks, recent algorithms use interaction cues alongside motion and appearance features. These algorithms use graph neural networks or transformers to extract interaction features that lead to high computation costs. In this paper, a novel interaction cue based on geometric features is presented aiming to detect occlusion and reidentify lost targets with low computational costs. Moreover, in the majority of algorithms, camera motion is considered negligible, which is a strong assumption that is not always true and can lead to identity (ID) switching or mismatching of targets. In this paper, a method for measuring camera motion is presented that efficiently reduces its effect on tracking. The proposed algorithm is evaluated on MOT17 and MOT20 datasets and achieves state-of-the-art performance on MOT17 with comparable results on MOT20. The code is also publicly available. 1 1 https://github.com/mhnasseri/for_tracking. • Cascade association based on the detection score. • A new similarity metric that considers detection's size. • A novel interaction model for occlusion handling and target re-identification. • A novel algorithm for estimating camera motion and removing it. • State-of-the-art results on MOT17 and comparable results on MOT20.

• Rethinking the PASCAL-VOC and MS-COCO dataset for small object detection. • There are different labeling errors in these two benchmarks by visual analysis. • Building several specific datasets to analyze small object detection. • Data quality is another factor that affects the performance of small object detection. The data and the algorithm are critical to deep learning-based small object detectors. In this paper, we rethink the PASCAL-VOC and MS-COCO dataset for small object detection. By visual analysis of the original annotations, we find that there are different labeling errors in these two datasets. To solve these problems, we build specific datasets, including SDOD, Mini6K, Mini2022 and Mini6KClean. The experimental results of several typical algorithms (e.g. SSD, YOLOv5, Faster RCNN and Deformable DETR) on the datasets show that data labeling errors (such as missing labels, category label errors, inappropriate labels) are another factor that affects the detection performance of small objects.

Person re-identification(ReID) is an intelligent video surveillance technology that retrieves the same person from different cameras. This task is extremely challenging due to changes in person poses, different camera views, and occlusion. In recent years, person ReID based on deep learning technology has received widespread attention due to the rapid development and excellent performance of deep learning. In this paper, we first divide person ReID based on deep learning approaches into seven types, i.e., fused hand-crafted features deep model, representation learning model, metric learning model, part-based deep model, video-based model, GAN-based model, unsupervised model. Furthermore, we launched a brief overview of the seven types. Then, we introduce some examples of commonly used datasets, compare the performance of some algorithms on image and video datasets in recent years, and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of various methods. Finally, we summarize the possible future research directions of person ReID technology. • Dividing person ReID based on deep learning approaches into seven types. • Introducing some examples of commonly used datasets. • Comparing the performance of some algorithms on image and video datasets in recent years. • Analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of various methods. • Summarizing the possible future research directions of person ReID technology.
