The invention provides a multi-target tracking method and device based on secondary graph matching, and belongs to the technical field of
computer vision, and the method comprises the steps: employing an improved YOLOX target detection network, combining with a multi-
task learning framework, and carrying out the target detection and
feature extraction of an input video frame image; carrying out target classification, target association and target tracking
processing by adopting a secondary graph matching strategy of target
machine matching and region-level matching; after the second-level graph matching
processing is completed, track prediction is carried out by adopting Kalman filtering, a multi-target tracking result is output after track updating and fusion
processing are carried out in combination with background modeling based on a
Gaussian mixture model, matching is carried out at a
target level by adopting a GNN graph neural network, and the target identity retention capability is optimized; and then, in each target area, fine-grained matching is carried out by utilizing foreground point matching and adopting GCN graph
convolution, so that the target association stability under the shielding condition is improved, and the stability of multi-target tracking is improved by adopting secondary graph matching and combining Kalman filtering and background modeling.
