- The Visual Object Tracking challenge VOT2018 is the sixth annual tracker benchmarking activity organized by the VOT initiative. Results of over eighty trackers are presented; many are state-of-the-art trackers published at major computer vision conferences or in journals in the recent years. The evaluation included the standard VOT and other popular methodologies for short-term tracking analysis and a “real-time” experiment simulating a situation where a tracker processes images as if provided by a continuously running sensor. A long-term tracking subchallenge has been introduced to the set of standard VOT sub-challenges. The new subchallenge focuses on long-term tracking properties, namely coping with target disappearance and reappearance. A new dataset has been compiled and a performance evaluation methodology that focuses on long-term tracking capabilities has been adopted. The VOT toolkit has been updated to support both standard short-term and the new long-term tracking subchallenges. Performance of the tested trackers typically by far exceeds standard baselines. The source code for most of the trackers is publicly available from the VOT page. The dataset, the evaluation kit and the results are publicly available at the challenge website (http://votchallenge.net).

- The Thermal Infrared Visual Object Tracking challenge 2016, VOT-TIR2016, aims at comparing short-term single-object visual trackers that work on thermal infrared (TIR) sequences and do not apply pre-learned models of object appearance. VOT-TIR2016 is the second benchmark on short-term tracking in TIR sequences. Results of 24 trackers are presented. For each participating tracker, a short description is provided in the appendix. The VOT-TIR2016 challenge is similar to the 2015 challenge, the main difference is the introduction of new, more difficult sequences into the dataset. Furthermore, VOT-TIR2016 evaluation adopted the improvements regarding overlap calculation in VOT2016. Compared to VOT-TIR2015, a significant general improvement of results has been observed, which partly compensate for the more difficult sequences. The dataset, the evaluation kit, as well as the results are publicly available at the challenge website.

- Discriminative Correlation Filters (DCF) have demonstrated excellent performance for visual tracking. However, these methods still struggle in occlusion and out-of-view scenarios due to the absence of a re-detection component. While such a component requires global knowledge of the scene to ensure robust re-detection of the target, the standard DCF is only trained on the local target neighborhood. In this paper, we augment the state-of-the-art DCF tracking framework with a re-detection component based on a global appearance model. First, we introduce a tracking confidence measure to detect target loss. Next, we propose a hard negative mining strategy to extract background distractors samples, used for training the global model. Finally, we propose a robust re-detection strategy that combines the global and local appearance model predictions. We perform comprehensive experiments on the challenging UAV123 and LTB35 datasets. Our approach shows consistent improvements over the baseline tracker, setting a new state-of-the-art on both datasets.

- In the field of generic object tracking numerous attempts have been made to exploit deep features. Despite all expectations, deep trackers are yet to reach an outstanding level of performance compared to methods solely based on handcrafted features. In this paper, we investigate this key issue and propose an approach to unlock the true potential of deep features for tracking. We systematically study the characteristics of both deep and shallow features, and their relation to tracking accuracy and robustness. We identify the limited data and low spatial resolution as the main challenges, and propose strategies to counter these issues when integrating deep features for tracking. Furthermore, we propose a novel adaptive fusion approach that leverages the complementary properties of deep and shallow features to improve both robustness and accuracy. Extensive experiments are performed on four challenging datasets. On VOT2017, our approach significantly outperforms the top performing tracker from the challenge with a relative gain of >17% in EAO.

- In recent years, sensors capable of measuring both color and depth information have become increasingly popular. Despite the abundance of colored point set data, state-of-the-art probabilistic registration techniques ignore the available color information. In this paper, we propose a probabilistic point set registration framework that exploits available color information associated with the points. Our method is based on a model of the joint distribution of 3D-point observations and their color information. The proposed model captures discriminative color information, while being computationally efficient. We derive an EM algorithm for jointly estimating the model parameters and the relative transformations. Comprehensive experiments are performed on the Stanford Lounge dataset, captured by an RGB-D camera, and two point sets captured by a Lidar sensor. Our results demonstrate a significant gain in robustness and accuracy when incorporating color information. On the Stanford Lounge dataset, our approach achieves a relative reduction of the failure rate by 78% compared to the baseline. Furthermore, our proposed model outperforms standard strategies for combining color and 3D-point information, leading to state-of-the-art results.

Adaptive Decontamination of the Training Set: A Unified Formulation for Discriminative Visual Tracking
- 2016
-

- Tracking-by-detection methods have demonstrated competitive performance in recent years. In these approaches, the tracking model heavily relies on the quality of the training set. Due to the limited amount of labeled training data, additional samples need to be extracted and labeled by the tracker itself. This often leads to the inclusion of corrupted training samples, due to occlusions, misalignments and other perturbations. Existing tracking-by-detection methods either ignore this problem, or employ a separate component for managing the training set. We propose a novel generic approach for alleviating the problem of corrupted training samples in tracking-by-detection frameworks. Our approach dynamically manages the training set by estimating the quality of the samples. Contrary to existing approaches, we propose a unified formulation by minimizing a single loss over both the target appearance model and the sample quality weights. The joint formulation enables corrupted samples to be down-weighted while increasing the impact of correct ones. Experiments are performed on three benchmarks: OTB-2015 with 100 videos, VOT-2015 with 60 videos, and Temple-Color with 128 videos. On the OTB-2015, our unified formulation significantly improves the baseline, with a gain of 3.8% in mean overlap precision. Finally, our method achieves state-of-the-art results on all three datasets.

- 3D-point set registration is an active area of research in computer vision. In recent years, probabilistic registration approaches have demonstrated superior performance for many challenging applications. Generally, these probabilistic approaches rely on the spatial distribution of the 3D-points, and only recently color information has been integrated into such a framework, significantly improving registration accuracy. Other than local color information, high-dimensional 3D shape features have been successfully employed in many applications such as action recognition and 3D object recognition. In this paper, we propose a probabilistic framework to integrate high-dimensional 3D shape features with color information for point set registration. The 3D shape features are distinctive and provide complementary information beneficial for robust registration. We validate our proposed framework by performing comprehensive experiments on the challenging Stanford Lounge dataset, acquired by a RGB-D sensor, and an outdoor dataset captured by a Lidar sensor. The results clearly demonstrate that our approach provides superior results both in terms of robustness and accuracy compared to state-of-the-art probabilistic methods.

ATOM: Accurate tracking by overlap maximization
- 2019

- While recent years have witnessed astonishing improvements in visual tracking robustness, the advancements in tracking accuracy have been limited. As the focus has been directed towards the development of powerful classifiers, the problem of accurate target state estimation has been largely overlooked. In fact, most trackers resort to a simple multi-scale search in order to estimate the target bounding box. We argue that this approach is fundamentally limited since target estimation is a complex task, requiring highlevel knowledge about the object. We address this problem by proposing a novel tracking architecture, consisting of dedicated target estimation and classification components. High level knowledge is incorporated into the target estimation through extensive offline learning. Our target estimation component is trained to predict the overlap between the target object and an estimated bounding box. By carefully integrating targetspecific information, our approach achieves previously unseen bounding box accuracy. We further introduce a classification component that is trained online to guarantee high discriminative power in the presence of distractors. Our final tracking framework sets a new state-of-the-art on five challenging benchmarks. On the new large-scale TrackingNet dataset, our tracker ATOM achieves a relative gain of 15% over the previous best approach, while running at over 30 FPS. Code and models are available at https://github.com/visionml/pytracking.

- Discriminative Correlation Filters (DCF) have demonstrated excellent performance for visual object tracking. The key to their success is the ability to efficiently exploit available negative data by including all shifted versions of a training sample. However, the underlying DCF formulation is restricted to single-resolution feature maps, significantly limiting its potential. In this paper, we go beyond the conventional DCF framework and introduce a novel formulation for training continuous convolution filters. We employ an implicit interpolation model to pose the learning problem in the continuous spatial domain. Our proposed formulation enables efficient integration of multi-resolution deep feature maps, leading to superior results on three object tracking benchmarks: OTB-2015 (+5.1% in mean OP), Temple-Color (+4.6% in mean OP), and VOT2015 (20% relative reduction in failure rate). Additionally, our approach is capable of sub-pixel localization, crucial for the task of accurate feature point tracking. We also demonstrate the effectiveness of our learning formulation in extensive feature point tracking experiments.

- Visual object tracking is a classical, but still open research problem in computer vision, with many real world applications. The problem is challenging due to several factors, such as illumination variation, occlusions, camera motion and appearance changes. Such problems can be alleviated by constructing robust, discriminative and computationally efficient visual features. Recently, biologically-inspired channel representations \cite{felsberg06PAMI} have shown to provide promising results in many applications ranging from autonomous driving to visual tracking.This paper investigates the problem of coloring channel representations for visual tracking. We evaluate two strategies, channel concatenation and channel product, to construct channel coded color representations. The proposed channel coded color representations are generic and can be used beyond tracking.Experiments are performed on 41 challenging benchmark videos. Our experiments clearly suggest that a careful selection of color feature together with an optimal fusion strategy, significantly outperforms the standard luminance based channel representation. Finally, we show promising results compared to state-of-the-art tracking methods in the literature.
