    PiVoT: A Variational Solution for Real-time Large-scale Multi-object Detection and Tracking under Heavy Clutter

    Multi-object detection and tracking from noisy point clouds remain challenging in many data-scarce radar applications. Current Bayesian trackers based on Poisson measurement models offer a training-free solution but struggle to achieve accuracy and efficiency under severe clutter, large object populations, and full-resolution Doppler point clouds. We address this with PiVoT, a fast, clutter-resilient multi-object tracker for both positional and Doppler measurements. PiVoT performs end-to-end detection and tracking of a large and time-varying number of objects without external clustering or detectors, through joint inference of object states, shapes, existence probabilities, data association, and measurement rates. Its efficiency is driven by several variational inference innovations, such as theoretically justified birth pruning, quadratic-to-linear complexity reductions for exact updates, and a computationally efficient Doppler Poisson model. Experiments show that PiVoT substantially outperforms existing Bayesian trackers in challenging scenes, while also demonstrating exceptional scalability to a thousand objects, robustness to clutter visually inseparable from objects, and real-time operation on full-scale modern automotive radar datasets, where it attains performance comparable to a deep-learning detection benchmark as a training-free joint detector and tracker.
