Toronto — April 4, 2023 — Arcturus Networks Inc., a leading provider of edge AI analytics and enablement software today announced the 2023 results of its public submission to the global Multiple Object Tracking (MOT) Benchmark challenge competition. The MOT Benchmark provides a rigorous set of test criteria with a common evaluation tool used to compare state-of-the-art tracking methods. The challenge is organized by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) with submissions accepted globally from commercial, academic and research organizations. It is the preeminent industry benchmark for evaluating machine vision tracking algorithms.
This is the second year in a row Arcturus has participated in the competition. In 2022 Arcturus BrinqTraq (BQTQ) achieved a MOTA benchmark score of 77.2 for the MOT16 challenge and 77.7 for the MOT17 challenge, placing Brinq’s tracking solutions in the top 10 globally for these competitions. In 2023, Arcturus submitted the updated BrinqTraq_v2 algorithm to the MOT20 challenge –the most complex of the MOT benchmark challenges.
“BrinqTraq_v2 represents a significant evolution in tracking”, said David Steele director of innovation at Arcturus, “it combines a proprietary detection model with algorithmic enhancements to achieve better performance in higher density environments.”
The 2023 result for the MOT20 benchmark challenge ranks BrinqTraq_v2 as number one globally with a MOTA score of 79.5, beating the closest competition by nearly a full point. The result clearly demonstrates the accuracy achieved by the BrinqTraq_v2 tracking algorithm, its performance relative to other implementations and its suitability for real-world applications.
Tracking is a critical primitive that underpins a range of applications from people counting to smart retail to sports analytics. The design goal of BrinqTraq_v2 is to bring real-time, high accuracy tracking to constrained edge devices, including support for NVIDIA Jetson, NXP i.MX and Kinara processors. To achieve this BrinqTraq_v2 is designed to efficiently address varying complexity requirements using three performance tiers:
BrinqTraq_v2 is a proprietary tracking algorithm developed by Arcturus. It is a commercially available and supported component of Brinq Edge AI and Vision analytics software. Hardware support is available for leading edge platforms from NXP, NVIDIA and Kinara, including hardware acceleration for CPUs, NPUs and GPUs. Contact Arcturus for more information.
