Abstract

Object detection and tracking are vital for video analysis. As the development of Deep Neural Network (DNN), multiple object tracking is recently performed on the detection results from DNN. However, DNN-based detection is computation-intensive. In order to accelerate multiple object detection and tracking for real-time application, we present a framework to import the tracking knowledge into detection to allow a less accurate but faster DNN for detection and recover the accuracy loss. By combining different DNNs with accuracy-speed trade-offs using space-aware color information, our framework achieves significant speedup (6.8\(\times \)) and maintains high accuracy. Targeting NVIDIA Xavier, we further optimize the implementation from system and platform level.
