Automatic Parameter Adaptation for Multi-object Tracking
Object tracking quality usually depends on video context (e.g. object
occlusion level, object density). In order to decrease this dependency, this
paper presents a learning approach to adapt the tracker parameters to the
context variations. In an offline phase, satisfactory tracking parameters are
learned for video context clusters. In the online control phase, once a context
change is detected, the tracking parameters are tuned using the learned values.
The experimental results show that the proposed approach outperforms the recent
trackers in state of the art. This paper brings two contributions: (1) a
classification method of video sequences to learn offline tracking parameters,
(2) a new method to tune online tracking parameters using tracking context.Comment: International Conference on Computer Vision Systems (ICVS) (2013
Deformable Convolutional Networks
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are inherently limited to model
geometric transformations due to the fixed geometric structures in its building
modules. In this work, we introduce two new modules to enhance the
transformation modeling capacity of CNNs, namely, deformable convolution and
deformable RoI pooling. Both are based on the idea of augmenting the spatial
sampling locations in the modules with additional offsets and learning the
offsets from target tasks, without additional supervision. The new modules can
readily replace their plain counterparts in existing CNNs and can be easily
trained end-to-end by standard back-propagation, giving rise to deformable
convolutional networks. Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness of our
approach on sophisticated vision tasks of object detection and semantic
segmentation. The code would be released
