In the classical tracking-by-detection (TBD) paradigm, detection and tracking are separately and sequentially conducted, and data association must be properly performed to achieve satisfactory tracking performance. In this paper, a new end-to-end multi-object tracking framework is proposed, which integrates object detection and multi-object tracking into a single model. The proposed tracking framework eliminates the complex data association process in the classical TBD paradigm, and requires no additional training. Secondly, the regression confidence of historical trajectories is investigated, and the possible states of a trajectory (weak object or strong object) in the current frame are predicted. Then, a confidence fusion module is designed to guide non-maximum suppression for trajectories and detections to achieve ordered and robust tracking. Thirdly, by integrating historical trajectory features, the regression performance of the detector is enhanced, which better reflects the occlusion and disappearance patterns of objects in real world. Lastly, extensive experiments are conducted on the commonly used KITTI and Waymo datasets. The results show that the proposed framework can achieve robust tracking by using only a 2D detector and a 3D detector, and it is proven more accurate than many of the state-of-the-art TBD-based multi-modal tracking methods. The source codes of the proposed method are available at https://github.com/wangxiyang2022/YONTD-MOT.
