Abstract

A system and method for online real-time multi-object tracking is disclosed. A particular embodiment can be configured to: receive image frame data from at least one camera associated with an autonomous vehicle; generate similarity data corresponding to a similarity between object data in a previous image frame compared with object detection results from a current image frame; use the similarity data to generate data association results corresponding to a best matching between the object data in the previous image frame and the object detection results from the current image frame; cause state transitions in finite state machines for each object according to the data association results; and provide as an output object tracking output data corresponding to the states of the finite state machines for each object.
