The stable continuation of trajectories among different targets has always been the key to the tracking performance of multi-object tracking (MOT) tasks. If features of the target are aggregated and classified simply, the discriminant features of the target will be ignored. This will affect the robustness of the trajectory generated by the model. Meanwhile, many popular models are keen to execute detection and feature extraction tasks in parallel. But these two tasks will conflict with each other when optimized respectively. Therefore, we propose our tracker MOTFR to solve the above problems. In this paper, we propose a Locally Shared Information Decoupling Module (LSIDM) to reduce task optimization conflicts while ensuring the necessary information sharing. Meanwhile, a feature recoding module for deep extraction of identity discriminative features is proposed, which is called the Feature Purification Module (FPM). By combining LSIDM and FPM modules, the model utilizes the discriminative appearance features to guide the optimization of detection and further improves the performance of our model. To solve the problem of targets disappearing due to various abnormal occlusion, a Short-term Trajectory Online Complement Strategy (STOCS) is proposed to realize the trajectories continuation of these targets in the tracking stage. Through sufficient experiments, we demonstrate the superior performance of our MOTFR, which guarantees high-quality detection while achieving the stability of the target trajectory.

The emergence of wearable devices has opened up new potentials for egocentric activity recognition. Although some methods integrate attention mechanisms into deep neural networks to capture fine-grained human-object interactions in a weak-supervision manner, they either ignore exploiting the temporal consistency or generate attention based on considering appearance cues only. To address these limitations, in this paper, we propose an enhanced attention-tracking method, combined with multi-branch network (EAT-MBNet), for egocentric activity recognition. Specifically, we propose class-aware attention maps (CAAMs) by employing a self-attention-based module to refine the class activation maps (CAMs). Our proposed method can enhance the semantic dependency between the activity categories and the feature maps. To highlight the discriminative features from the regions of interest across frames, we propose a flow-guided attention-tracking (F-AT) module, by simultaneously leveraging historical attention and motion patterns. Furthermore, we propose a cross-modality modeling branch based on an interactive GRU module, which captures the time-synchronized long-term relationships between the appearance and motion branches. Experimental results on four egocentric activity benchmarks demonstrate that the proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
