Hierarchical Feature-Aware Correlation Filter for Efficient Visual Tracking
share
In this paper, we propose a feature-aware correlation filter (FACF) for efficient visual tracking. Recent years, ensembled trackers which combine multiple component trackers have achieved impressive performance. In ensembled trackers, the decision of results is usually a post-event process, i.e., tracking result for each tracker is first obtained and then the suitable one is selected according to result ensemble. In this paper, we propose a pre-event method. We construct an expert pool with each expert being one set of features. For each frame, several experts are first selected in the pool according to their past performance and then they are used to predict the object. The selection rate of each expert in the pool is then updated and tracking result is obtained according to result ensemble. We propose a novel pre-known expert-adaptive selection strategy. Since the process is more efficient, more experts can be constructed by fusing more types of features which leads to more robustness. Moreover, with the novel expert selection strategy, overfitting caused by fixed experts for each frame can be mitigated. Experiments on datasets of OTB-2013, OTB-2015, TempleColor and VOT2017 demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over compared ensembled trackers and its state-of-the-art performance.
