bytetrack

Purpose

The core algorithm, named ByteTrack, mainly aims to perform multi-object tracking. Because the algorithm associates almost every detection box including ones with low detection scores, the number of false negatives is expected to decrease by using it.

Inner-workings / Algorithms

Cite

  • Yifu Zhang, Peize Sun, Yi Jiang, Dongdong Yu, Fucheng Weng, Zehuan Yuan, Ping Luo, Wenyu Liu, and Xinggang Wang, “ByteTrack: Multi-Object Tracking by Associating Every Detection Box”, in the proc. of the ECCV 2022, [ref]
  • This package is ported version toward Autoware from this repository (The C++ implementation by the ByteTrack’s authors)

2d tracking modification from original codes

The paper just says that the 2d tracking algorithm is a simple Kalman filter. Original codes use the top-left-corner and aspect ratio and size as the state vector.

This is sometimes unstable because the aspect ratio can be changed by the occlusion. So, we use the top-left and size as the state vector.

Kalman filter settings can be controlled by the parameters in config/bytetrack_node.param.yaml.

Inputs / Outputs

bytetrack_node

Input

0.52.0 (2026-06-30)

  • Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/main' into tmp/bot/bump_version_base

  • fix(clang-tidy): re-enable bugprone-assignment-in-if-condition (#12552) Add NOLINTNEXTLINE markers to the 45 sites flagged by bugprone-assignment-in-if-condition and re-enable the check in .clang-tidy-ci. Both files are derived from upstream third-party code where the assignment-in-if pattern is intentional:

    - planning/autoware_freespace_planning_algorithms/src/reeds_shepp.cpp is derived from OMPL's ReedsSheppStateSpace.cpp (BSD). Each path family computes a candidate length L and compares it against L_min in the same expression; rewriting all 39 sites would diverge from the OMPL upstream and make future cross-checking harder.

    - perception/autoware_bytetrack/lib/src/lapjv.cpp is the upstream LAPJV port (MIT, Yifu Zhang). The 6 sites are all expansions of the NEW(x, t, n) macro from lapjv.h, which uses the canonical malloc-or-bail idiom 'if ((x = malloc(...)) == 0) return -1;'. Refs: #12450

0.52.0 (2026-06-30)

  • Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/main' into tmp/bot/bump_version_base

  • fix(clang-tidy): re-enable bugprone-assignment-in-if-condition (#12552) Add NOLINTNEXTLINE markers to the 45 sites flagged by bugprone-assignment-in-if-condition and re-enable the check in .clang-tidy-ci. Both files are derived from upstream third-party code where the assignment-in-if pattern is intentional:

    - planning/autoware_freespace_planning_algorithms/src/reeds_shepp.cpp is derived from OMPL's ReedsSheppStateSpace.cpp (BSD). Each path family computes a candidate length L and compares it against L_min in the same expression; rewriting all 39 sites would diverge from the OMPL upstream and make future cross-checking harder.

    - perception/autoware_bytetrack/lib/src/lapjv.cpp is the upstream LAPJV port (MIT, Yifu Zhang). The 6 sites are all expansions of the NEW(x, t, n) macro from lapjv.h, which uses the canonical malloc-or-bail idiom 'if ((x = malloc(...)) == 0) return -1;'. Refs: #12450

bytetrack

Purpose

The core algorithm, named ByteTrack, mainly aims to perform multi-object tracking. Because the algorithm associates almost every detection box including ones with low detection scores, the number of false negatives is expected to decrease by using it.

Inner-workings / Algorithms

Cite

  • Yifu Zhang, Peize Sun, Yi Jiang, Dongdong Yu, Fucheng Weng, Zehuan Yuan, Ping Luo, Wenyu Liu, and Xinggang Wang, “ByteTrack: Multi-Object Tracking by Associating Every Detection Box”, in the proc. of the ECCV 2022, [ref]
  • This package is ported version toward Autoware from this repository (The C++ implementation by the ByteTrack’s authors)

2d tracking modification from original codes

The paper just says that the 2d tracking algorithm is a simple Kalman filter. Original codes use the top-left-corner and aspect ratio and size as the state vector.

This is sometimes unstable because the aspect ratio can be changed by the occlusion. So, we use the top-left and size as the state vector.

Kalman filter settings can be controlled by the parameters in config/bytetrack_node.param.yaml.

Inputs / Outputs

bytetrack_node

bytetrack

Purpose

The core algorithm, named ByteTrack, mainly aims to perform multi-object tracking. Because the algorithm associates almost every detection box including ones with low detection scores, the number of false negatives is expected to decrease by using it.

Inner-workings / Algorithms

Cite

  • Yifu Zhang, Peize Sun, Yi Jiang, Dongdong Yu, Fucheng Weng, Zehuan Yuan, Ping Luo, Wenyu Liu, and Xinggang Wang, “ByteTrack: Multi-Object Tracking by Associating Every Detection Box”, in the proc. of the ECCV 2022, [ref]
  • This package is ported version toward Autoware from this repository (The C++ implementation by the ByteTrack’s authors)

2d tracking modification from original codes

The paper just says that the 2d tracking algorithm is a simple Kalman filter. Original codes use the top-left-corner and aspect ratio and size as the state vector.

This is sometimes unstable because the aspect ratio can be changed by the occlusion. So, we use the top-left and size as the state vector.

Kalman filter settings can be controlled by the parameters in config/bytetrack_node.param.yaml.

Inputs / Outputs

bytetrack_node

Input

Name Type Description
in/rect tier4_perception_msgs/DetectedObjectsWithFeature The detected objects with 2D bounding boxes

Output

Name Type Description
out/objects tier4_perception_msgs/DetectedObjectsWithFeature The detected objects with 2D bounding boxes
out/objects/debug/uuid tier4_perception_msgs/DynamicObjectArray The universally unique identifiers (UUID) for each object

bytetrack_visualizer

Input

Name Type Description
in/image sensor_msgs/Image or sensor_msgs/CompressedImage The input image on which object detection is performed
in/rect tier4_perception_msgs/DetectedObjectsWithFeature The detected objects with 2D bounding boxes
in/uuid tier4_perception_msgs/DynamicObjectArray The universally unique identifiers (UUID) for each object

Output

Name Type Description
out/image sensor_msgs/Image The image that detection bounding boxes and their UUIDs are drawn

Parameters

bytetrack_node

Name Type Default Value Description
track_buffer_length int 30 The frame count that a tracklet is considered to be lost

bytetrack_visualizer

Name Type Default Value Description
use_raw bool false The flag for the node to switch sensor_msgs/Image or sensor_msgs/CompressedImage as input

CHANGELOG

Changelog for package autoware_bytetrack

0.53.0 (2026-09-29)

  • Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/main' into prepare-0.53.0-changelog
  • refactor(perception): move node design files into each package (#13104) Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <<noreply@anthropic.com>>
  • Contributors: Ryohsuke Mitsudome, Taekjin LEE

0.52.0 (2026-06-30)

  • Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/main' into tmp/bot/bump_version_base

  • fix(clang-tidy): re-enable bugprone-assignment-in-if-condition (#12552) Add NOLINTNEXTLINE markers to the 45 sites flagged by bugprone-assignment-in-if-condition and re-enable the check in .clang-tidy-ci. Both files are derived from upstream third-party code where the assignment-in-if pattern is intentional:

    - planning/autoware_freespace_planning_algorithms/src/reeds_shepp.cpp is derived from OMPL's ReedsSheppStateSpace.cpp (BSD). Each path family computes a candidate length L and compares it against L_min in the same expression; rewriting all 39 sites would diverge from the OMPL upstream and make future cross-checking harder.

    - perception/autoware_bytetrack/lib/src/lapjv.cpp is the upstream LAPJV port (MIT, Yifu Zhang). The 6 sites are all expansions of the NEW(x, t, n) macro from lapjv.h, which uses the canonical malloc-or-bail idiom 'if ((x = malloc(...)) == 0) return -1;'. Refs: #12450

bytetrack

Purpose

The core algorithm, named ByteTrack, mainly aims to perform multi-object tracking. Because the algorithm associates almost every detection box including ones with low detection scores, the number of false negatives is expected to decrease by using it.

Inner-workings / Algorithms

Cite

  • Yifu Zhang, Peize Sun, Yi Jiang, Dongdong Yu, Fucheng Weng, Zehuan Yuan, Ping Luo, Wenyu Liu, and Xinggang Wang, “ByteTrack: Multi-Object Tracking by Associating Every Detection Box”, in the proc. of the ECCV 2022, [ref]
  • This package is ported version toward Autoware from this repository (The C++ implementation by the ByteTrack’s authors)

2d tracking modification from original codes

The paper just says that the 2d tracking algorithm is a simple Kalman filter. Original codes use the top-left-corner and aspect ratio and size as the state vector.

This is sometimes unstable because the aspect ratio can be changed by the occlusion. So, we use the top-left and size as the state vector.

Kalman filter settings can be controlled by the parameters in config/bytetrack_node.param.yaml.

Inputs / Outputs

bytetrack_node

Input

Name Type Description
in/rect tier4_perception_msgs/DetectedObjectsWithFeature The detected objects with 2D bounding boxes

Output

Name Type Description
out/objects tier4_perception_msgs/DetectedObjectsWithFeature The detected objects with 2D bounding boxes
out/objects/debug/uuid tier4_perception_msgs/DynamicObjectArray The universally unique identifiers (UUID) for each object

bytetrack_visualizer

Input

Name Type Description
in/image sensor_msgs/Image or sensor_msgs/CompressedImage The input image on which object detection is performed
in/rect tier4_perception_msgs/DetectedObjectsWithFeature The detected objects with 2D bounding boxes
in/uuid tier4_perception_msgs/DynamicObjectArray The universally unique identifiers (UUID) for each object

Output

Name Type Description
out/image sensor_msgs/Image The image that detection bounding boxes and their UUIDs are drawn

Parameters

bytetrack_node

Name Type Default Value Description
track_buffer_length int 30 The frame count that a tracklet is considered to be lost

bytetrack_visualizer

Name Type Default Value Description
use_raw bool false The flag for the node to switch sensor_msgs/Image or sensor_msgs/CompressedImage as input

CHANGELOG

Changelog for package autoware_bytetrack

0.53.0 (2026-09-29)

  • Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/main' into prepare-0.53.0-changelog

0.52.0 (2026-06-30)

  • Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/main' into tmp/bot/bump_version_base

  • fix(clang-tidy): re-enable bugprone-assignment-in-if-condition (#12552) Add NOLINTNEXTLINE markers to the 45 sites flagged by bugprone-assignment-in-if-condition and re-enable the check in .clang-tidy-ci. Both files are derived from upstream third-party code where the assignment-in-if pattern is intentional:

    - planning/autoware_freespace_planning_algorithms/src/reeds_shepp.cpp is derived from OMPL's ReedsSheppStateSpace.cpp (BSD). Each path family computes a candidate length L and compares it against L_min in the same expression; rewriting all 39 sites would diverge from the OMPL upstream and make future cross-checking harder.

    - perception/autoware_bytetrack/lib/src/lapjv.cpp is the upstream LAPJV port (MIT, Yifu Zhang). The 6 sites are all expansions of the NEW(x, t, n) macro from lapjv.h, which uses the canonical malloc-or-bail idiom 'if ((x = malloc(...)) == 0) return -1;'. Refs: #12450

bytetrack

Purpose

The core algorithm, named ByteTrack, mainly aims to perform multi-object tracking. Because the algorithm associates almost every detection box including ones with low detection scores, the number of false negatives is expected to decrease by using it.

Inner-workings / Algorithms

Cite

  • Yifu Zhang, Peize Sun, Yi Jiang, Dongdong Yu, Fucheng Weng, Zehuan Yuan, Ping Luo, Wenyu Liu, and Xinggang Wang, “ByteTrack: Multi-Object Tracking by Associating Every Detection Box”, in the proc. of the ECCV 2022, [ref]
  • This package is ported version toward Autoware from this repository (The C++ implementation by the ByteTrack’s authors)

2d tracking modification from original codes

The paper just says that the 2d tracking algorithm is a simple Kalman filter. Original codes use the top-left-corner and aspect ratio and size as the state vector.

This is sometimes unstable because the aspect ratio can be changed by the occlusion. So, we use the top-left and size as the state vector.

Kalman filter settings can be controlled by the parameters in config/bytetrack_node.param.yaml.

Inputs / Outputs

bytetrack_node

Input

Name Type Description
in/rect tier4_perception_msgs/DetectedObjectsWithFeature The detected objects with 2D bounding boxes

Output

Name Type Description
out/objects tier4_perception_msgs/DetectedObjectsWithFeature The detected objects with 2D bounding boxes
out/objects/debug/uuid tier4_perception_msgs/DynamicObjectArray The universally unique identifiers (UUID) for each object

bytetrack_visualizer

Input

Name Type Description
in/image sensor_msgs/Image or sensor_msgs/CompressedImage The input image on which object detection is performed
in/rect tier4_perception_msgs/DetectedObjectsWithFeature The detected objects with 2D bounding boxes
in/uuid tier4_perception_msgs/DynamicObjectArray The universally unique identifiers (UUID) for each object

Output

Name Type Description
out/image sensor_msgs/Image The image that detection bounding boxes and their UUIDs are drawn

Parameters

bytetrack_node

Name Type Default Value Description
track_buffer_length int 30 The frame count that a tracklet is considered to be lost

CHANGELOG

Changelog for package autoware_bytetrack

0.53.0 (2026-09-29)

  • Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/main' into prepare-0.53.0-changelog
  • refactor(perception): move node design files into each package (#13104) Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <<noreply@anthropic.com>>
  • Contributors: Ryohsuke Mitsudome, Taekjin LEE

0.52.0 (2026-06-30)

  • Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/main' into tmp/bot/bump_version_base

  • fix(clang-tidy): re-enable bugprone-assignment-in-if-condition (#12552) Add NOLINTNEXTLINE markers to the 45 sites flagged by bugprone-assignment-in-if-condition and re-enable the check in .clang-tidy-ci. Both files are derived from upstream third-party code where the assignment-in-if pattern is intentional:

    - planning/autoware_freespace_planning_algorithms/src/reeds_shepp.cpp is derived from OMPL's ReedsSheppStateSpace.cpp (BSD). Each path family computes a candidate length L and compares it against L_min in the same expression; rewriting all 39 sites would diverge from the OMPL upstream and make future cross-checking harder.

    - perception/autoware_bytetrack/lib/src/lapjv.cpp is the upstream LAPJV port (MIT, Yifu Zhang). The 6 sites are all expansions of the NEW(x, t, n) macro from lapjv.h, which uses the canonical malloc-or-bail idiom 'if ((x = malloc(...)) == 0) return -1;'. Refs: #12450

CHANGELOG

Changelog for package autoware_bytetrack

0.53.0 (2026-09-29)

  • Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/main' into prepare-0.53.0-changelog
  • refactor(perception): move node design files into each package (#13104) Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <<noreply@anthropic.com>>
  • Contributors: Ryohsuke Mitsudome, Taekjin LEE

0.52.0 (2026-06-30)

  • Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/main' into tmp/bot/bump_version_base

  • fix(clang-tidy): re-enable bugprone-assignment-in-if-condition (#12552) Add NOLINTNEXTLINE markers to the 45 sites flagged by bugprone-assignment-in-if-condition and re-enable the check in .clang-tidy-ci. Both files are derived from upstream third-party code where the assignment-in-if pattern is intentional:

    - planning/autoware_freespace_planning_algorithms/src/reeds_shepp.cpp is derived from OMPL's ReedsSheppStateSpace.cpp (BSD). Each path family computes a candidate length L and compares it against L_min in the same expression; rewriting all 39 sites would diverge from the OMPL upstream and make future cross-checking harder.

    - perception/autoware_bytetrack/lib/src/lapjv.cpp is the upstream LAPJV port (MIT, Yifu Zhang). The 6 sites are all expansions of the NEW(x, t, n) macro from lapjv.h, which uses the canonical malloc-or-bail idiom 'if ((x = malloc(...)) == 0) return -1;'. Refs: #12450

bytetrack

Purpose

The core algorithm, named ByteTrack, mainly aims to perform multi-object tracking. Because the algorithm associates almost every detection box including ones with low detection scores, the number of false negatives is expected to decrease by using it.

Inner-workings / Algorithms

Cite

  • Yifu Zhang, Peize Sun, Yi Jiang, Dongdong Yu, Fucheng Weng, Zehuan Yuan, Ping Luo, Wenyu Liu, and Xinggang Wang, “ByteTrack: Multi-Object Tracking by Associating Every Detection Box”, in the proc. of the ECCV 2022, [ref]
  • This package is ported version toward Autoware from this repository (The C++ implementation by the ByteTrack’s authors)

2d tracking modification from original codes

The paper just says that the 2d tracking algorithm is a simple Kalman filter. Original codes use the top-left-corner and aspect ratio and size as the state vector.

This is sometimes unstable because the aspect ratio can be changed by the occlusion. So, we use the top-left and size as the state vector.

Kalman filter settings can be controlled by the parameters in config/bytetrack_node.param.yaml.
