DeepTAgent: Realtime Tracking of Highly Heterogeneous Agents in Very Dense Traffic

We present a realtime algorithm to track different traffic agents in dense videos. Our approach is designed for heterogeneous traffic scenarios, which consist of different agents including vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, two-wheelers, etc., sharing the road. We present a novel heterogeneous traffic motion and interaction model (HTMI) to predict the trajectories and interaction between the agents. We combine HTMI with the tracking-by-detection paradigm and use CNNs to compute the features of traffic agents for accurate tracking reliably. We highlight the performance on a new dataset of dense traffic videos and observe 72.02% accuracy. Our approach can handle all kinds of traffic videos in realtime on a single GPU. We observe a 4X speedup over prior tracking algorithms and more than 7% improvement in accuracy.
