基于卡尔曼滤波(KF)的多目标追踪(MOT)因其性能优异、计算高效和可解释性强,仍是自动驾驶领域的强基准方法。现有系统通常对所有物体类别全局共享过程噪声和测量噪声协方差,假设各类交通参与者具有相同的不确定性特征。本文重新审视这一假设,提出CANMOT:一种面向3D MOT的类感知、对象对齐噪声建模框架。引入针对不同类别的对角过程与测量协方差矩阵,并可选地在物体坐标系中表达,以保持纵向-横向各向异性。在nuScenes基准上的系统性实验表明,该方法显著提升了追踪性能,大幅减少了身份切换。通过平均归一化估计误差平方(ANEES)和χ²检验分析估计不确定性的一致性,结果揭示标准KF基线存在严重过自信问题。尽管所提方法在不修改滤波框架的前提下改善了校准,仍存在显著不一致性,凸显该领域需进一步研究。代码已开源。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Kalman filter (KF)-based multi-object tracking (MOT) remains a strong baseline for autonomous driving due to its strong performance, computational efficiency and interpretability. In most practical systems, the process noise and measurement noise covariances are defined globally and shared across object classes, presuming identical uncertainty characteristics across heterogeneous traffic participants. This work revisits this assumption and proposes CANMOT, a class-aware and object-aligned noise modeling framework for KF-based 3D MOT. Class-specific diagonal process and measurement covariance matrices are introduced and optionally expressed in the object coordinate frame to preserve longitudinal-lateral anisotropy. Systematic experiments on the nuScenes benchmark show that class-aware and object-aligned noise modeling improves tracking performance and substantially reduces identity switches compared to state-of-the-art (SotA). In addition, the consistency of the estimated uncertainty is analyzed using the Average Normalized Estimation Error Squared (ANEES) and $χ^2$-based violation tests. The results reveal severe overconfidence in standard KF-based MOT baselines. While the proposed formulation improves calibration without modifying the underlying filtering framework, it still exhibits substantial inconsistency, highlighting the need for further research in this area.
