Can FairMOT directly detect vehicles without training

[Kaiqi-Chen]

Hi ! I am a novice in MOT，I have a question? Can I directly use the original model(FairMOT) to detect the vehicle?

@Ckq-Sugar Of course you can, some scripts to prepare for training data added in this repo compared to FairMOT such as script to convert UA_DETRAC dataset.

@CaptainEven can you tell me details about modifying the FairMOT ,so that FairMOT can test the vehicle? thank you very much!

You need to train a new MOT tracker to track vehicles, for details, you can just refer to the readme of this repo. Am i miss-understanding you by "original model"(Is it refered to a trained checkpoint file .pth or just use original FairMOT to train a vehicle mot tracker)?

[Kaiqi-Chen]

@CaptainEven The original model which I mentioned above is FairMOT 's Pretrained models Baseline model.
so if I only want detect and track vehicles without thinking accuracy, I can use FairMOT 's Pretrained models Baseline model?

[CaptainEven]

@Ckq-Sugar I'm afraid not. Because the pre-trained model of FairMOT is just for person MOT tracking.

OK,I do know. thank you! I also am interested in you reps (MCMOT and FairMOTVehicle) I am trying to reproduce your MCMOT, I find that I dont download model when run model_down_script.sh. could you provide other links? if you provide it ,I will be very grateful！！！

The details of MCMOT training including dataset preparation will be released in the future.
