Task Overview
Input: Panoramic 4K video (full match)
Output: Per-frame bounding boxes + persistent track IDs for all players
Alignment with SoccerNet/MOTChallenge:
✅ Same: MOTChallenge-style format (bbox + ID per frame)
⚠️ Different: Panoramic full-pitch view, long sequences (~90 min)
✅ Same: MOTChallenge-style format (bbox + ID per frame)

Evaluation / Metrics
Evaluation uses standard MOT metrics:
- HOTA (Higher Order Tracking Accuracy) — primary metric
- MOTA (Multi-Object Tracking Accuracy)
- IDF1 (ID F1 Score)
- AssA, DetA (Association & Detection accuracy)
Compatible with TrackEval library.

Differences vs SoccerNet Tracking
Key Differences:
- Camera view: Panoramic (full-pitch) vs. broadcast (partial/zoomed)
- Duration: Full match (~90 min, ~135k frames) vs. short clips
- Challenges: Long-term ID persistence, scale variation across pitch
- Resolution: 4K panoramic (3840×2160) vs. HD broadcast
