Unlike existing surveys that primarily offer theoretical categorizations or taxonomies of tracking methods, our work adopts a rigorous experimental perspective grounded in publicly available implementations, providing practical guidance for researchers and practitioners in method selection and system design. We introduce a unified pipeline diagram that consolidates the core components across the two main branches of visual multi-object tracking: tracking-by-detection and end-to-end deep learning paradigms, and systematically analyze the object detection, feature extraction, and data association modules. Through extensive empirical studies on standard benchmarks, including MOT16, MOT17, MOT20, SportsMOT, DanceTrack, and CrowdTrack datasets, we reveal critical insights: (1) detection quality dominates association strategy performance, with detector improvements yielding more than 10% gains compared to less than 5% from refined association strategies; (2) modern deep learning detectors paired with specialized re-identification models significantly outperform joint detection and embedding approaches; and (3) transformer-based end-to-end methods exhibit greater robustness to detection quality variations but at a substantial computational cost. Our findings from extensive experiments provide key insights into component-level effects in MOT, particularly the dominant influence of detection quality relative to association, while offering practical insights for designing and optimizing MOT systems under varying performance and robustness requirements.
