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

“…Second, the F-EIoU loss function introduces dynamic size-dependent penalty terms and difficulty-adaptive weighting factors, effectively balancing learning priorities between small targets and normal instances. Third, the optimized CBH-Conv module employs Hardswish activation and depthwise separable convolution to mitigate gradient vanishing while maintaining real-time efficiency (achieving a 17% MOTA improvement at 213 FPS).Evaluated on the MOT-16 dataset, AE-StrongSORT demonstrates substantial improvements over the baseline StrongSORT, with 17%, 2.78%, and 9.99% gains in MOTA, HOTA, and IDF1 metrics respectively, alongside significant reductions in false/missed detections. …”

Personnel localization method for low-visibility environments based on improved YOLOv3 by LU Xiaoya, LI Haifang

“…There was a substantial enhancement in overall lighting conditions and contrast, facilitating better differentiation between targets and backgrounds, thereby validating the effectiveness of the image enhancement techniques employed. ② The improved YOLOv3 accurately identified personnel in the video frames, with no instances of missed detections. ③ Using calibrated objects or manually annotated real three-dimensional positions as benchmarks, the deviation between the projected results and the actual positions was calculated (covering distance deviations in the X, Y, and Z directions). …”
