Researchers have developed QPID (Query-Propagation Instability and Diversity), a novel clip-level active learning method designed to reduce the cost of annotating data for multi-object tracking (MOT) models. QPID focuses on identifying and selecting video clips that exhibit association instability within propagated track states, a factor often missed by previous methods that relied on output-level temporal uncertainty. By perturbing internal track states and measuring prediction differences, QPID quantifies instability and selects diverse, informative clips for annotation, demonstrating strong performance on datasets like DanceTrack and SportsMOT when used with models such as MeMOTR and SambaMOTR.
