Physics-Informed Tracking (PIT)

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2604.16895v1 Announce Type: new We propose Physics-Informed Tracking (PIT), a video-based framework for tracking a single particle from video, where a neural network autoencoder localizes a particle as a heatmap peak (landmark) and a differentiable physics module embedded in the autoencoder constrains several landmarks over time (a trajectory) to satisfy known dynamics. The novel Physics-Informed Landmark Loss (PILL) compares this predicted trajectory back against the landmarks, enforcing physical consistency without labels.
