Attention-enhanced StrongSORT for robust vehicle tracking in complex environments by Wei Xu, Xiaodong Du, Ruochen Li, Bingjie Li, Yuhu Jiao, Lei Xing

“…Abstract While multi-object tracking is critical for autonomous driving systems, traditional algorithms exhibit three fundamental limitations in complex scenarios: (1) blurred feature representation under occlusion and re-identification scenarios causing identity switches, (2) insufficient sensitivity to scale-variant targets due to fixed geometric constraints in conventional IoU-based loss functions, and (3) gradient degradation in deep convolutional layers hindering discriminative feature learning. …”
