Some new works could be found in the MOT16、MOT17 ranking list, but it seems that no work opening their source code in recent months, so I did not update the source code list. Sometimes, I think that the MOT benchmark may lead the researchers to a wrong direction. The MOT17 benchmark provides three kinds of detection results: DPM, Faster RCNN and SDP, if you analyse the results based on different detections, you would find that most trackers has similar performance on Faster RCNN and SDP detections. The trackers ranking well mostly rely on the good performance on DPM detections and they have similar performance with DeepSort when adopting Faster RCNN and SDP detections. So if you want to improve your MOTA score, focus on DPM result.
Multi-object tracking is a deeply explored but not successfully solved computer vision task. This filed needs more open sources and more standard evaluation metrics. Opening source code is not the characteristic for this field（maybe the large number of parameters waited to be tuned)...... This is a paper list for multi-object-tracking.
