The proposed path consistency concept learns robust object matching without manual object identity supervision. The key idea is to obtain multiple association results by varying the frames observed, ensuring consistency despite different observations. A novel loss function, Path Consistency Loss, enforces consistent association results across different observation paths. This approach is trained using self-supervision and outperforms existing unsupervised methods on MOT17, PersonPath22, and KITTI datasets in terms of various evaluation metrics.

A new way to track objects without needing to know what they are called. The idea is simple: if you look at an object from different angles or leave some parts out, the object should still be the same. This helps a computer model learn how to match objects across frames. The method uses a special loss function that makes sure the results are consistent, even when looking at things from different views. This approach does better than other ways of doing this without labels and even gets close to methods that do use labels.
