Custom MOT data

[whiteplatin]

Ive got a video labelled as MOT which looks something like gt.txt:
1,1,1126.93,422.16,85.66999999999985,163.32,1,1,1.0 2,1,1127.48,421.92,85.67000000000007,163.32,1,1,1.0 3,1,1128.03,421.68,85.67000000000007,163.32,1,1,1.0 4,1,1128.58,421.44,85.67000000000007,163.32,1,1,1.0 5,1,1129.13,421.2,85.66999999999985,163.32,1,1,1.0 6,1,1129.68,420.96,85.66999999999985,163.32,1,1,1.0 . . .
Its using custom classes

In https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmtracking/blob/master/tools/convert_datasets/mot/mot2coco.py it mentions DET and Results, is that required ? I was hoping to get DET and Results after running mmtracking

Hi, only if your tracker need detections as input (e.g., DeepSORT), DET is required.
"Results" is generated by running mmtracking.

Best wishes.

To be precise, DET is designed for public-detection, which means different tracking algorithms share the detection results to be associated. If you are not targeting this goal, DET files are not necessary.

If no public detections are provided, you can define your own MOT datasets by imitating the support of DanceTrack dataset as in PR #543 .
