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
Recovering 6D Object Pose and Predicting Next-Best-View in the Crowd
Object detection and 6D pose estimation in the crowd (scenes with multiple
object instances, severe foreground occlusions and background distractors), has
become an important problem in many rapidly evolving technological areas such
as robotics and augmented reality. Single shot-based 6D pose estimators with
manually designed features are still unable to tackle the above challenges,
motivating the research towards unsupervised feature learning and
next-best-view estimation. In this work, we present a complete framework for
both single shot-based 6D object pose estimation and next-best-view prediction
based on Hough Forests, the state of the art object pose estimator that
performs classification and regression jointly. Rather than using manually
designed features we a) propose an unsupervised feature learnt from
depth-invariant patches using a Sparse Autoencoder and b) offer an extensive
evaluation of various state of the art features. Furthermore, taking advantage
of the clustering performed in the leaf nodes of Hough Forests, we learn to
estimate the reduction of uncertainty in other views, formulating the problem
of selecting the next-best-view. To further improve pose estimation, we propose
an improved joint registration and hypotheses verification module as a final
refinement step to reject false detections. We provide two additional
challenging datasets inspired from realistic scenarios to extensively evaluate
the state of the art and our framework. One is related to domestic environments
and the other depicts a bin-picking scenario mostly found in industrial
settings. We show that our framework significantly outperforms state of the art
both on public and on our datasets.Comment: CVPR 2016 accepted paper, project page:
