Description |
HOTA |
higher |
100% | Higher Order Tracking Accuracy [1]. Geometric mean of detection accuracy and association accuracy. Averaged across localization thresholds. |
sMOTSA |
higher |
100% | Mask-based Soft Multi-Object Tracking Accuracy (+/- denotes standard deviation across all sequences) [2]. Soft version of MOTSA, accumulates the mask overlaps of true positives instead of only counting how many masks reach an IoU of more than 0.5. |
IDF1 |
higher |
100% | ID F1 Score [3]. The ratio of correctly identified detections over the average number of ground-truth and computed detections. |
AssA |
higher |
100% | Association Accuracy [1]. Association Jaccard index averaged over all matching detections and then averaged over localization thresholds. |
DetA |
higher |
100% | Detection Accuracy [1]. Detection Jaccard index averaged over localization thresholds. |
AssRe |
higher |
100% | Association Recall [1]. TPA / (TPA + FNA) averaged over all matching detections and then averaged over localization thresholds. |
AssPr |
higher |
100% | Association Precision [1]. TPA / (TPA + FPA) averaged over all matching detections and then averaged over localization thresholds. |
DetRe |
higher |
100% | Detection Recall [1]. TP /(TP + FN) averaged over localization thresholds. |
DetPr |
higher |
100% | Detection Precision [1]. TP /(TP + FP) averaged over localization thresholds. |
LocA |
higher |
100% | Localization Accuracy [1]. Average localization similarity averaged over all matching detections and averaged over localization thresholds. |
MOTSA |
higher |
100% | Mask-based Multi-Object Tracking Accuracy (+/- denotes standard deviation across all sequences) [2]. Variant of MOTA, evaluated based on mask overlap (mask IoU) |
MOTSP |
higher |
100% | Mask-overlap based variant of Multi-Object Tracking Precision. [2]. Variant of MOTP, evaluated based on mask IoU instead of bounding box IoU. |
MODSA |
higher |
100% | Mask-overlap based Multi-Object Detection Accuracy [2]. Variant of MODA, evaluated based on the mask overlap (mask IoU). |
MT |
higher |
100% | Mostly tracked targets. The ratio of ground-truth trajectories that are covered by a track hypothesis for at least 80% of their respective life span. |
ML |
lower |
0% | Mostly lost targets. The ratio of ground-truth trajectories that are covered by a track hypothesis for at most 20% of their respective life span. |
TP |
higher |
#GT | The total number of true positives. |
FP |
lower |
0 | The total number of false positives. |
FN |
lower |
0 | The total number of false negatives (missed targets). |
Rcll |
higher |
100% | Ratio of correct detections to total number of GT boxes. |
Prcn |
higher |
100% | Ratio of TP / (TP+FP). |
ID Sw. |
lower |
0 | Number of Identity Switches (ID switch ratio = #ID switches / recall) [4]. Please note that we follow the stricter definition of identity switches as described in the reference |
Frag |
lower |
0 | The total number of times a trajectory is fragmented (i.e. interrupted during tracking). |
Hz |
higher |
Inf. | Processing speed (in frames per second excluding the detector) on the benchmark. The frequency is provided by the authors and not officially evaluated by the MOTChallenge. |
