  Multiple object tracking (MOT) in urban traffic aims to produce the
trajectories of the different road users that move across the field of view
with different directions and speeds and that can have varying appearances and
sizes. Occlusions and interactions among the different objects are expected and
common due to the nature of urban road traffic. In this work, a tracking
framework employing classification label information from a deep learning
detection approach is used for associating the different objects, in addition
to object position and appearances. We want to investigate the performance of a
modern multiclass object detector for the MOT task in traffic scenes. Results
show that the object labels improve tracking performance, but that the output
of object detectors are not always reliable.
