通过扰动轨迹状态检测关联不稳定性，提升视频片段选择效率。

Training query-propagation end-to-end multi-object tracking (MOT) models requires dense bounding-box and identity annotations across video sequences, making dataset construction expensive. Clip-level active learning reduces this cost by selecting video clips for annotation, but prior acquisition criteria based on output-level temporal uncertainty may miss clips whose informativeness comes from association instability in propagated track states. We propose QPID (Query-Propagation Instability and Diversity), a clip acquisition method for query-propagation MOT that targets association instability in propagated track states. QPID estimates this instability by applying two-sided perturbations to internal track states and measuring prediction differences from a clean reference branch. The key idea is that, in stable clips, each propagated track should continue to follow the same target under small perturbations, whereas in ambiguous clips, small changes in the track state can alter which target the track follows, leading to changes in localization or confidence. QPID measures these perturbation-induced prediction differences with two metrics: Localization Drift and Entropy-Weighted Confidence Discrepancy. These metrics are aggregated into a clip-level association-instability score. To avoid redundant uncertainty-only selection, QPID selects a representative annotation batch from high-instability clips using Uncertainty-Weighted Visual Coverage with track-level visual prototypes. Experiments on DanceTrack and SportsMOT with MeMOTR and SambaMOTR show that QPID achieves strong performance compared with active learning baselines under the same annotation budget.
