Multi-Object Tracking and Segmentation (MOTS) Evaluation


The Multi-Object and Segmentation (MOTS) benchmark consists of 21 training sequences and 29 test sequences. It is based on the KITTI Tracking Evaluation 2012 and extends the annotations to the Multi-Object and Segmentation (MOTS) task. To this end, we added dense pixelwise segmentation labels for every object. We evaluate submitted results using the common metrics CLEAR MOT and MT/PT/ML (adapted for the segmentation case).

Important Policy Update: As more and more non-published work and re-implementations of existing work is submitted to KITTI, we have established a new policy: from now on, only submissions with significant novelty that are leading to a peer-reviewed paper in a conference or journal are allowed. Minor modifications of existing algorithms or student research projects are not allowed. Such work must be evaluated on a split of the training set. To ensure that our policy is adopted, new users must detail their status, describe their work and specify the targeted venue during registration. Furthermore, we will regularly delete all entries that are 6 months old but are still anonymous or do not have a paper associated with them. For conferences, 6 month is enough to determine if a paper has been accepted and to add the bibliography information. For longer review cycles, you need to resubmit your results.
Additional information used by the methods
