Multiple Object Tracking of Military Vehicles

Introduction

  • Multiple Object Tracking (MOT) is the task of locating objects in a sequence of frames (video or live) and match the found objects between the frames.
  • Tracking objects is known and important task in Computer Vision, as it has many use cases.
  • Tracking of military vehicles helps get a better understanding of the battlefield at real time and take us one step closer to autonomous systems.

Project Goals

  • Track multiple military vehicles videos:
  • Detect (locate + classify) tanks, rocket launchers, etc. on one frame
  • Match detections from multiple frames
  • Robust and efficient algorithm for varying conditions

Project Summery

  1. Created a database with ~4000 images of military vehicles, using automated script for downloading images from Google images (using Python)
  2. Train YOLOv5 objects detector, do enable detecting military vehicles on a single frame.
  3. Combine the detector with DeepSORT algorithm for multiple object tracking
