Question

Hi @mikel-brostrom and team,

First of all, thank you for maintaining this great repository! I've been using BoxMOT for my research and it works great for many detection and tracking tasks.

I would like to request support for fine-tuning RF-DETR with ByteTrack. Currently, BoxMOT provides fine-tuning capabilities for YOLO-based detectors, but RF-DETR is not yet supported.

If this is already planned, please let me know. Thank you for your time and for this amazing project!

Hi @flightlesscat!

Send your command and error please.

I've tried:

boxmot tune --detector rtdetr_v2_r18vd --reid lmbn_n_duke --tracker bytetrack --benchmark mot17-ablation --n-threads 12 --n-trials 250 --maximize HOTA

and I only got OOM, but it is not about boxmot 🥲 . I see no reason not to support RF-DETR models or any other detectors, they should work. And if not, I think it should be easy to fix.

@Fleyderer Thanks for your quick reply!

I'm currently using version v16.0.11, and I noticed that your command seems to be using the master branch. I suspect that might be the reason I'm not seeing support for RF-DETR fine-tuning in my setup — perhaps the feature is only available in the newer branch.

I'll try updating to the latest version and give it another shot. Appreciate your input!
