Researchers have introduced WaspMOT, a new benchmark designed to evaluate long-term multi-object tracking capabilities, particularly for scenarios requiring consistent identity preservation over extended durations. The benchmark utilizes long-duration tracking of Trichogramma wasps in controlled ecological experiments, featuring sequences of approximately 12,000 frames each. Initial evaluations of five tracking-by-detection methods, including ByteTrack and BoT-SORT, revealed significant trajectory fragmentation, indicating current approaches struggle with long-term identity maintenance even with perfect detections. A simple tracklet stitching baseline showed potential for improvement, suggesting avenues for future research in this area. AI
