Résumé des auteurs

Multi-Camera People Tracking (MCPT) traditionally relies on precise intrinsic and extrinsic camera calibration to project 2D detections into a unified 3D world coordinate system.However, manual calibration constitutes a major bottleneck in large-scale dataset generation from unconstrained video archives. This work proposes a unified calibration-free 3D MCPT framework that infers geometric structure directly from visual data using deep foundation models. The system integrates anchor-free detection (YOLOX), robust tracking (BoT-SORT), omni-scale appearance embedding (OsNet), pose estimation (HRNet via MMPose), and transformer-based geometric reconstruction using the Visual Geometry Grounded Transformer (VGGT). A pose-guided 3D lifting strategy projects head keypoints onto a reconstructed manifold, eliminating dependence on ground-plane homography. Global identity association is formulated as hierarchical agglomerative clustering under a joint appearance-geometry cost with strict velocity gating. Evaluation on the AI City Challenge 2024 demonstrates a HOTA score of 53.13% without access to ground-truth calibration matrices, establishing a strong baseline for purely vision-based 3D tracking.
