SAM2MOT

Paper: SAM2MOT: A Novel Paradigm of Multi-Object Tracking by Segmentation

SAM2MOT puts segmentation at the center of multi-object tracking. The paper combines mask-driven tracking with a trajectory manager for adding and removing objects and a cross-object interaction module for handling occlusion. This makes mask continuity a primary association signal instead of treating segmentation as a visual add-on to bounding-box tracks.

What BoxMOT Needs For SAM2MOT

  • A detector that supplies a row-aligned segmentation mask for each detection.
  • No ReID model. The BoxMOT implementation consumes masks passed to update() and does not instantiate SAM 2 itself, so masks can come from any compatible segmentation model.
  • Supports both AABB and OBB detections. Mask operations use enclosing AABBs, while oriented geometry is retained for association and 9-column OBB output.
  • Best when reliable instance masks are available and overlap or occlusion makes box-only association ambiguous.

BoxMOT combines geometry and mask IoU in two-stage association, applies cross-object interaction handling, and performs a third recovery stage for objects classified as having left the frame. Returned masks stay row-aligned with the emitted tracks.

Bases: HybridBaseTracker

Hybrid bbox + mask tracker with three-stage matching, COI, and frame-out recovery.

This tracker uses externally provided segmentation masks for mask-IoU-based association. Despite the name (for continuity with the paper), it does not require SAM2 – any source of per-detection masks works (Mask R-CNN, etc.).
