In order to solve the problem of target ID switching caused by target occlusion and insufficient ID information and location information extraction in JDE(joint detection and embedding) algorithm, an improved multi-target tracking algorithm based on JDE is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the SPA feature space pyramid attention module is used to expand the receptive field and obtain more abundant semantic information to improve the detection accuracy of the model for different scale targets. Secondly, the FCN network makes the header and ID Embedding task collaborative learning to alleviate the excessive competition and enhance the original semantic information, effectively reducing the number of ID switching. Finally, PCCs-Ma motion measurement can strengthen the connection between Kalman filtering prediction and observation, and improve the reliability of similarity discrimination of motion characteristics. In order to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm, the JDE algorithm and the proposed algorithm are compared in the same experimental environment. The experimental results show that the average accuracy of model detection is improved by 3.94 %. On the MOT16 dataset, the MOTA and IDF1 indexes are increased by 6.9 %, and the number of ID switching of the improved algorithm is significantly reduced, and good tracking results are achieved.
