SANet: Structure-Aware Network for Visual Tracking
Convolutional neural network (CNN) has drawn increasing interest in visual
tracking owing to its powerfulness in feature extraction. Most existing
CNN-based trackers treat tracking as a classification problem. However, these
trackers are sensitive to similar distractors because their CNN models mainly
focus on inter-class classification. To address this problem, we use
self-structure information of object to distinguish it from distractors.
Specifically, we utilize recurrent neural network (RNN) to model object
structure, and incorporate it into CNN to improve its robustness to similar
distractors. Considering that convolutional layers in different levels
characterize the object from different perspectives, we use multiple RNNs to
model object structure in different levels respectively. Extensive experiments
on three benchmarks, OTB100, TC-128 and VOT2015, show that the proposed
algorithm outperforms other methods. Code is released at

Deformable Object Tracking with Gated Fusion
The tracking-by-detection framework receives growing attentions through the
integration with the Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Existing
tracking-by-detection based methods, however, fail to track objects with severe
appearance variations. This is because the traditional convolutional operation
is performed on fixed grids, and thus may not be able to find the correct
response while the object is changing pose or under varying environmental
conditions. In this paper, we propose a deformable convolution layer to enrich
the target appearance representations in the tracking-by-detection framework.
We aim to capture the target appearance variations via deformable convolution,
which adaptively enhances its original features. In addition, we also propose a
gated fusion scheme to control how the variations captured by the deformable
convolution affect the original appearance. The enriched feature representation
through deformable convolution facilitates the discrimination of the CNN
classifier on the target object and background. Extensive experiments on the
standard benchmarks show that the proposed tracker performs favorably against
state-of-the-art methods
Pedestrian Attribute Recognition: A Survey
Recognizing pedestrian attributes is an important task in computer vision
community due to it plays an important role in video surveillance. Many
algorithms has been proposed to handle this task. The goal of this paper is to
review existing works using traditional methods or based on deep learning
networks. Firstly, we introduce the background of pedestrian attributes
recognition (PAR, for short), including the fundamental concepts of pedestrian
attributes and corresponding challenges. Secondly, we introduce existing
benchmarks, including popular datasets and evaluation criterion. Thirdly, we
analyse the concept of multi-task learning and multi-label learning, and also
explain the relations between these two learning algorithms and pedestrian
attribute recognition. We also review some popular network architectures which
have widely applied in the deep learning community. Fourthly, we analyse
popular solutions for this task, such as attributes group, part-based,
\emph{etc}. Fifthly, we shown some applications which takes pedestrian
attributes into consideration and achieve better performance. Finally, we
summarized this paper and give several possible research directions for
pedestrian attributes recognition. The project page of this paper can be found
