This study introduces a new video tracking model that quickly adapts to target appearance changes and aspect ratio variations. It improves tracking accuracy, especially during deformation, making it suitable for drone applications.
Area of Science:
- Computer Vision
- Machine Learning
- Robotics
Background:
- Discriminative correlation filters are popular for mobile video tracking.
- Existing methods struggle with target occlusion, background interference, and deformation due to rigid temporal regularization.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an instant template learning method for targets with drastic appearance and aspect ratio variations.
- To improve the robustness and accuracy of video tracking algorithms.
Main Methods:
- Proposed a temporally even model with deformation slack for rapid template response.
- Formulated an optimal derivation with closed-form solutions for efficient implementation.
- Introduced a cyclic shift methodology for mirror factors to estimate scale variations.
Main Results:
- Demonstrated excellent performance on seven benchmark datasets (DroneTB-70, VisDrone-SOT2019, VOT-2019, LaSOT, TC-128, UAV-20L, UAVDT).
- Achieved high cross-area accuracy through scale estimation of varying aspect ratios.
- The approach runs at 16.9 FPS on a low-cost CPU, suitable for drone tracking.
Conclusions:
- The proposed model effectively handles target deformation and appearance changes.
- The method offers a practical solution for real-time drone-based video tracking.
- The publicly available code and results facilitate further research.
