Visual Multi-Object Tracking (MOT) has a promisingly broad application in manufacturing, construction, traffic, logistics, etc., especially in large-scale applications where it is not feasible to attach markers to many objects for traditional, marker-enabled tracking methods. This paper presents a lightweight, open-source MOT algorithm, Kalman-intersection-over-union (KIOU) tracker, for fast multi-object tracking in videos that integrates a Kalman filter with IOU-based track association methods. The KIOU tracker is quantitatively evaluated with UA-DETRAC, a dense traffic video dataset to demonstrate its performance and speed.
