CrowdTrack-MOT

Pedestrian multi-object-tracking benchmark in MOTChallenge format, derived from Loseevaya/CrowdTrack. 33 CCTV / surveillance sequences, single class person, ~702k GT boxes, 1920×1080.

What changed vs. the original

1. Converted to MOT format and added a seqinfo.ini per sequence. The original ships two heterogeneous annotation formats (a few sequences as plain gt.txt, the rest as per-frame LabelMe JSON) — both are unified into a single MOT gt.txt. (frameRate=25 in seqinfo.ini is a hardcoded placeholder — the original FPS is unknown.)
2. Boxes clipped to the frame. Some original boxes extended past the image border (and a few were stored with inverted/negative width-height); these are normalized to top-left + positive size and clipped to the frame bounds.
