It describes common MOT approaches including using boxes or masks to represent objects. The document also categorizes MOT based on factors like whether it tracks a single or multiple classes, in 2D or 3D, using a single or multiple cameras. It reviews old and new evaluation metrics for MOT and highlights state-of-the-art methods on various MOT datasets. In conclusion, it notes that while MOT research is interesting, standardized evaluation metrics and protocols still need improvement.
