MOT16 (Multiple Object Tracking 2016)

Introduced by Anton Milan et al. in MOT16: A Benchmark for Multi-Object Tracking2 Mar 2016 archive 2025-07-28

The MOT16 dataset is a dataset for multiple object tracking. It a collection of existing and new data (part of the sources are from and ), containing 14 challenging real-world videos of both static scenes and moving scenes, 7 for training and 7 for testing. It is a large-scale dataset, composed of totally 110407 bounding boxes in training set and 182326 bounding boxes in test set. All video sequences are annotated under strict standards, their ground-truths are highly accurate, making the evaluation meaningful.
