<ul data-eligibleForWebStory="true">Tracking multiple particles in noisy and cluttered scenes is challenging due to trajectory hypothesis combinatorial explosion.The transformer architecture improves robustness but falls short in scenarios with a reduced set of trajectory hypotheses.A hybrid approach combining self-attention of transformers with Bayesian filtering's reliability and interpretability is introduced.Trajectory-to-detection association is done by solving a label prediction problem using a transformer encoder.This hybrid approach prunes the hypothesis set, enabling efficient multiple-particle tracking in a Bayesian filtering framework.The approach shows improved tracking accuracy and robustness against spurious detections in high clutter scenarios.
