Description
Summary:Tracking algorithm based on correlation filter have been extensively investigated due to their powerful performance in benchmark datasets and competitions. However, the periodic assumption has contributed boundary effects and the complex scenarios will give rise to model drift, which have an extremely negative effect on both tracking precision and success rate. To mitigate these challenges, a novel multi-model and multi-expert correlation filter (MMCF) approach is proposed in this paper. The key innovation of the proposed method is to employ multiple models and experts for tracking. Multiple models can excavate diverse a large quantity of feature information, and the target information between different models can complement each other. Multiple experts provide several possible predictions, while an evaluation mechanism selects the most reliable prediction utilizing their assessment scores. To further improve the performance, an adaption strategy is utilized to update the multiple models, which can reduce the weight of the bad samples to prevent model drift. Experiments performed on three recent benchmark datasets OTB50, OTB2013, OTB100, TC-128 and UAV123@10fps, have demonstrated the superiority of our approach in comparison to the state-of-the-art trackers. Our MMCF tracker operates a speed of about 58 frames per second (FPS) running on a single central processing unit(CPU).
