In order to reduce the efficiency gap between available methods and computational requirements of real-world applications, we propose to re-think one of the most successful methods for image object detection, Faster R-CNN, and extend it to the video domain. Specifically, we extend the detection framework to learn instance-level embeddings which prove beneficial for data association and re-identification purposes. Focusing on the computational aspects of detection and tracking, our proposed method reaches a very high computational efficiency necessary for relevant applications, while still managing to compete with recent and state-of-the-art methods as shown in the experiments we conduct on standard object tracking benchmarks ## Recorded benchmark results A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage. ## Original sources and implementation [Original paper]() [PDF]()
