SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SINGLE-OBJECT TRACKING USING MULTIPLE-OBJECT TRACKING

In some examples, systems and methods for object tracking are provided. For example, a method includes: receiving an image frame in a sequence of image frames; identifying an object of interest in the image frame using a single-obj ect tracker (SOT) based upon one or more templates associated with the object of interest in a template repository; generating a SOT output based on the identified object of interest; and detecting one or more objects in the image frame using a multiple-object tracker (MOT). In some examples, the MOT including a machine-learning model. In some examples, the method further includes conducting a matching between the SOT output and each detected object of the one or more detected objects to generate a match result; and generating a tracker output based at least in part on the SOT output, the one or more detected objects, and the match result.
