Survey on Video Object Tracking Algorithms

Video object tracking is an important research content in the field of computer vision, mainly studying the tracking of objects with interest in video streams or image sequences. Video object tracking has been widely used in cameras and surveillance, driverless, precision guidance and other fields. Therefore, a comprehensive review on video object tracking algorithms is of great significance. Firstly, according to different sources of challenges, the challenges faced by video object tracking are classified into two aspects, the objects’ factors and the backgrounds’ factors, and summed up respectively. Secondly, the typical video object tracking algorithms in recent years are classified into correlation filtering video object tracking algorithms and deep learning video object tracking algorithms. And further the correlation filtering video object tracking algorithms are classified into three categories: kernel correlation filtering algorithms, scale adaptive correlation filtering algorithms and multi-feature fusion corre-lation filtering algorithms. The deep learning video object tracking algorithms are classified into two categories: video object tracking algorithms based on siamese network and based on convolutional neural network. This paper analyzes various algorithms from the aspects of research motivation, algorithm ideas, advantages and disadvantages. Then, the widely used datasets and evaluation indicators are introduced. Finally, this paper sums up the research and looks forward to the development trends of video object tracking in the future

A classification method for high‐dimensional imbalanced multi‐classification data

Abstract High‐dimensional imbalanced multi‐classification problems (HDIMCPs) occur frequently in engineering applications such as medical detection, item classification, and email classification. However, there is a paucity of research in the academic community on this topic. This paper proposes an evolutionary algorithm‐based classification method for HDIMCPs, named HIMALO (high‐dimensional imbalanced multi‐classification method based on ant lion optimizer). HIMALO proposes a new individual initialization strategy that replaces the random initialization of the ant lion optimizer with Fuch chaos. Then, it encodes individuals using concatenated sample features and base classifier weights, optimizes these features and weights concurrently during the iteration process. Additionally, a multi‐classification strategy, union one versus many, that combines one versus all and one‐against‐higher‐order is proposed. Numerous experiments are conducted to prove the superior classification performance and stability of HIMALO when compared with other algorithms
