Long-Term Tracking Based on Spatio-Temporal Context

Aiming at the problem that the fast tracking algorithm using spatio-temporal context (STC) will inevitably lead to drift and even lose the target in long-term tracking, a new algorithm based on spatio-temporal context that integrates long-term tracking with detecting is proposed in this paper. We track the target by the fast tracking algorithm, and the cascaded search strategy is introduced to the detecting part to relocate the target if the fast tracking fails. To a large extent, the proposed algorithm effectively improves the accuracy and stability of long-term tracking. Extensive experimental results on benchmark datasets show that the proposed algorithm can accurately track and relocate the target though the target is partially or completely occluded or reappears after being out of the scene. © 2017, Shanghai Jiaotong University and Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany.

基于双目标模型的时空上下文跟踪算法

传统的时空上下文跟踪算法在更新目标模型时不考虑跟踪结果的有效性,故目标被长时间遮挡后,目标模型容易被错误更新且难以修正。因此,本文提出了一种基于双目标模型的改进时空上下文跟踪算法以解决错误更新问题。该算法引入一个辅助目标判别模型来评估时空上下文算法跟踪结果的有效性,并根据评估结果对目标模型进行更新。辅助模型使用目标的局部纹理信息而不是相关性信息作为特征,在目标被长时间遮挡后也能准确评估更新内容的有效性,并能在遮挡结束后修正错误更新的目标模型。在多组数据集上的实验表明,改进算法在测试数据集上的跟踪成功率为82%,中心偏差为8pixels;在长时间遮挡等干扰情况下的跟踪精度比原时空上下文算法有明显提升,实现了目标的可靠跟踪。
