What does the various column items in det.txt file represent?

[Akola-Mbey-Denis]

Hello,
I am trying to understand the code of your tracktor. I would like to know how the det file is generated and possibly if the image name could be generated from it? Looking forward to hear from you

[Akola-Mbey-Denis]

Hello all,can you generate gt.txt from det data?

[timmeinhardt]

No, both the det.txt and gt.txt are provided by the MOT17 dataset. The latter included the ground truth bounding boxes and tracking identities. The former includes predicted detections to allow for an evaluation in public detection setup. The det.txt files differe for the different version of each sequence, e.g., MOT17-DPM, MOT17-FRCNN, MOT17-SDP.

Ok,thanks,please how do you generate annotations for the MOT17 dataset. Specifically,the test dataset?

[timmeinhardt]

You do not generate annotations. These are provided by the dataset. However, only for the training sequences. If yoy want to evaluate test set results you need to create an account on the MOTChallenge webpage and submit predicted results to the evaluation server.

[Akola-Mbey-Denis]

Ok,thanks,you mean if I download the data from MOT Challenge website both the train and test data have their annotation.json file embedded in them?

[timmeinhardt]

No, you will never get the test set annotations. These are not public. You need to submit your predicted tracking results and then get an email with your results from the evaluation server.

Alright thanks

Please can I get your email ?
