Syn2RealTrack: Bridging the Gap Between Synthetic and Real-World Datasets for Online Multi-View Multi-Target Tracking

Multi-camera 3D perception systems for warehouse scenes are trained largely on synthetic data and evaluated on physically captured environments. The resulting synthetic-to-real gap, which corrupts ground-plane localization and cross-camera identity association, is usually treated as one deficiency for a single domain-adaptation module to absorb; we argue instead that it enters the pipeline at three separable points: the camera calibration, the object shape prior, and the assumption that the object census is known, each admitting a different local remedy. Our online pipeline, Syn2RealTrack, follows this decomposition: lens distortion is recovered from images alone under a calibration that provides none, detections are fused across views by a visibility-weighted part-based descriptor that abstains on occluded parts rather than guessing, person height is measured in closed form from calibration instead of copied from a synthetic prior, and a closed-world cardinality prior is paired with a causal filter that removes the phantom boxes the prior manufactures. The system therefore adapts by reallocating trust between geometry and appearance without retraining a feature extractor. On the AI City Challenge 2026 Track~1 evaluation server it reaches a 3D Higher Order Tracking Accuracy (HOTA) of 52.0118%. The code will be released at https://github.com/SKKUAutoLab/aic26_mc3dp

Rethinking Pre-Training and Augmentation for Zero-Shot Cross-City Object Detection

Real-world deployment of traffic surveillance systems is bottlenecked by geographic domain shift, in which models trained in one city underperform when applied to an unseen target city. Conventional domain adaptation relies on hyperparameter-sensitive architectures or direct profiling of target data. Both are fundamentally precluded in privacy-conscious ecosystems that require completely blind training and evaluation loops. In this setting, we explore the effects of pre-training and augmentation in addressing the domain shift problem. Specifically, we propose a new modular training pipeline for object detection structured around two core orthogonal pillars: (1) a multi-dataset pre-training strategy featuring a class-agnostic objectness distillation to decouple structural vehicle geometry from semantic taxonomies, and (2) a domain-resilient augmentation stream featuring a novel Grayworld transformation that forces global attention heads to strip volatile chromatic shortcuts in favor of robust shape priors. When evaluated with the real-time transformer-based detector RF-DETR, our framework bridges cross-city distribution gaps while using limited GPU memory (16GB). Our optimized variants, RF-DETR-HR and RF-DETR-Grayworld, deliver a substantial empirical gain of +24.29 over the baseline, achieving 1st place (47.53 mAP) on the AI City Challenge Track 6 leaderboard.
