Learning Adaptive Discriminative Correlation Filters via Temporal Consistency Preserving Spatial Feature Selection for Robust Visual Tracking
With efficient appearance learning models, Discriminative Correlation Filter
(DCF) has been proven to be very successful in recent video object tracking
benchmarks and competitions. However, the existing DCF paradigm suffers from
two major issues, i.e., spatial boundary effect and temporal filter
degradation. To mitigate these challenges, we propose a new DCF-based tracking
method. The key innovations of the proposed method include adaptive spatial
feature selection and temporal consistent constraints, with which the new
tracker enables joint spatial-temporal filter learning in a lower dimensional
discriminative manifold. More specifically, we apply structured spatial
sparsity constraints to multi-channel filers. Consequently, the process of
learning spatial filters can be approximated by the lasso regularisation. To
encourage temporal consistency, the filter model is restricted to lie around
its historical value and updated locally to preserve the global structure in
the manifold. Last, a unified optimisation framework is proposed to jointly
select temporal consistency preserving spatial features and learn
discriminative filters with the augmented Lagrangian method. Qualitative and
quantitative evaluations have been conducted on a number of well-known
benchmarking datasets such as OTB2013, OTB50, OTB100, Temple-Colour, UAV123 and
VOT2018. The experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed
method over the state-of-the-art approaches
Active Collaborative Ensemble Tracking
A discriminative ensemble tracker employs multiple classifiers, each of which
casts a vote on all of the obtained samples. The votes are then aggregated in
an attempt to localize the target object. Such method relies on collective
competence and the diversity of the ensemble to approach the target/non-target
classification task from different views. However, by updating all of the
ensemble using a shared set of samples and their final labels, such diversity
is lost or reduced to the diversity provided by the underlying features or
internal classifiers' dynamics. Additionally, the classifiers do not exchange
information with each other while striving to serve the collective goal, i.e.,
better classification. In this study, we propose an active collaborative
information exchange scheme for ensemble tracking. This, not only orchestrates
different classifier towards a common goal but also provides an intelligent
update mechanism to keep the diversity of classifiers and to mitigate the
shortcomings of one with the others. The data exchange is optimized with regard
to an ensemble uncertainty utility function, and the ensemble is updated via
co-training. The evaluations demonstrate promising results realized by the
proposed algorithm for the real-world online tracking.Comment: AVSS 2017 Submissio
