Physical Adversarial Attacks on AI Surveillance Systems:Detection, Tracking, and Visible--Infrared Evasion

This research paper examines physical adversarial attacks on AI surveillance systems through a surveillance-oriented lens, emphasizing that robustness cannot be assessed from isolated image benchmarks alone. The study highlights critical gaps in current evaluation practices, including temporal persistence across frames, multi-modal sensing (visible and infrared), realistic attack carriers, and system-level objectives that must be tested under actual deployment constraints.

Polycepta: Object-Centric Appearance Estimation for Multi-Object Tracking

Polycepta introduces a novel object-centric appearance estimation framework for multi-object tracking that treats appearance modeling as a recursive estimation problem rather than static frame-wise matching. The system achieves state-of-the-art performance on KITTI (92.27% MOTA) while operating at 90.57 Hz, demonstrating that dynamically refined appearance states improve tracking robustness and reduce identity switches compared to conventional methods.

HDST-GNN: Heterogeneous Dynamic Spatiotemporal Graph Neural Networks for Multi-Object Tracking in UAV Aerial Imagery

Researchers introduce HDST-GNN, a graph neural network designed to improve multi-object tracking in drone footage by accounting for varying altitudes, object occlusion, and different detection states. The model achieves significant performance gains over existing methods, reducing identity-switching errors by up to 81% on benchmark datasets.

Understanding Identity Continuity in Thermal Video through Scene-Level Consistency

Researchers demonstrate that robust identity tracking in thermal video pedestrian detection can be achieved through lightweight post-processing with scene-level spatial-temporal consistency rather than complex re-identification models. By adding modular identity-repair components to YOLOv8 and SORT baselines, they improved IDF1 scores from 82.25 to 84.93 on thermal MOT benchmarks, suggesting that conservative trajectory relinking outperforms increasing tracker complexity.
