Multiple object tracking (MOT) is a fundamental task in vision, but MOT techniques for plenoptic video are scarce. Almost all 2D MOT algorithms that show high performance mostly use the detection-based method which has the disadvantage of operating only for a specific object. To enable tracking of arbitrary desired objects, this paper introduces a groundbreaking detection-free tracking method for MOT in plenoptic videos. The proposed method deviates from traditional detection-based tracking methods, emphasizing the challenges of tracking targets with occlusions. The paper presents specialized algorithms that exploit the multifocal information of plenoptic video, including the focal range restriction and dynamic focal range adjustment schemes to secure robustness for occluded object tracking. To the improvement of the spatial searching capability, the anchor ensemble and the dynamic change of spatial search region algorithms are also proposed. Additionally, in terms of MOT, to reduce the computation time involved, the motion-adaptive time scheduling technique is proposed, which improves computation speed while guaranteeing a certain level of accuracy. Experimental results show a significant improvement in tracking performance, with a 77% success rate based on intersection over union for occluded targets in plenoptic videos, marking a substantial advancement in the field of plenoptic object tracking.
