Adaptive object tracking based on an effective appearance filter
We propose a similarity measure based on a Spatial-color Mixture of Gaussians (SMOG) appearance model for particle filters. This improves on the popular similarity measure based on color histograms because it considers not only the colors in a region but also the spatial layout of the colors. Hence, the SMOG-based similarity measure is more discriminative. To efficiently compute the parameters for SMOG, we propose a new technique with which the computational time is greatly reduced. We also extend our method by integrating multiple cues to increase the reliability and robustness. Experiments show that our method can successfully track objects in many difficult situations
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

Vision-based Real-Time Aerial Object Localization and Tracking for UAV Sensing System
The paper focuses on the problem of vision-based obstacle detection and
tracking for unmanned aerial vehicle navigation. A real-time object
localization and tracking strategy from monocular image sequences is developed
by effectively integrating the object detection and tracking into a dynamic
Kalman model. At the detection stage, the object of interest is automatically
detected and localized from a saliency map computed via the image background
connectivity cue at each frame; at the tracking stage, a Kalman filter is
employed to provide a coarse prediction of the object state, which is further
refined via a local detector incorporating the saliency map and the temporal
information between two consecutive frames. Compared to existing methods, the
proposed approach does not require any manual initialization for tracking, runs
much faster than the state-of-the-art trackers of its kind, and achieves
competitive tracking performance on a large number of image sequences.
Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and superior performance of
the proposed approach.Comment: 8 pages, 7 figure
