Large Margin Object Tracking with Circulant Feature Maps
Structured output support vector machine (SVM) based tracking algorithms have
shown favorable performance recently. Nonetheless, the time-consuming candidate
sampling and complex optimization limit their real-time applications. In this
paper, we propose a novel large margin object tracking method which absorbs the
strong discriminative ability from structured output SVM and speeds up by the
correlation filter algorithm significantly. Secondly, a multimodal target
detection technique is proposed to improve the target localization precision
and prevent model drift introduced by similar objects or background noise.
Thirdly, we exploit the feedback from high-confidence tracking results to avoid
the model corruption problem. We implement two versions of the proposed tracker
with the representations from both conventional hand-crafted and deep
convolution neural networks (CNNs) based features to validate the strong
compatibility of the algorithm. The experimental results demonstrate that the
proposed tracker performs superiorly against several state-of-the-art
algorithms on the challenging benchmark sequences while runs at speed in excess
of 80 frames per second. The source code and experimental results will be made
publicly available
Aerial Vehicle Tracking by Adaptive Fusion of Hyperspectral Likelihood Maps
Hyperspectral cameras can provide unique spectral signatures for consistently
distinguishing materials that can be used to solve surveillance tasks. In this
paper, we propose a novel real-time hyperspectral likelihood maps-aided
tracking method (HLT) inspired by an adaptive hyperspectral sensor. A moving
object tracking system generally consists of registration, object detection,
and tracking modules. We focus on the target detection part and remove the
necessity to build any offline classifiers and tune a large amount of
hyperparameters, instead learning a generative target model in an online manner
for hyperspectral channels ranging from visible to infrared wavelengths. The
key idea is that, our adaptive fusion method can combine likelihood maps from
multiple bands of hyperspectral imagery into one single more distinctive
representation increasing the margin between mean value of foreground and
background pixels in the fused map. Experimental results show that the HLT not
only outperforms all established fusion methods but is on par with the current
state-of-the-art hyperspectral target tracking frameworks.Comment: Accepted at the International Conference on Computer Vision and

Improved data association and occlusion handling for vision-based people tracking by mobile robots
This paper presents an approach for tracking multiple persons using a combination of colour and thermal vision sensors on a mobile robot. First, an adaptive colour model is incorporated into the measurement model of the tracker. Second, a new approach for detecting occlusions is introduced, using a machine learning classifier for pairwise comparison of persons (classifying which one is in front of the other). Third, explicit occlusion handling is then incorporated into the tracker
