《UCT: Learning Unified Convolutional Networks forReal-time Visual Tracking》
摘要
Convolutional neural networks (CNN) based tracking approaches have shown favorable performance in recent benchmarks.
基于卷积神经网络(CNN)的跟踪方法在最近的测试中显示出良好的性能。
Nonetheless, the chosen CNN features are always pre-trained in different task and individual components in tracking systems are learned eparately, thus the achieved tracking performance may be suboptimal.
然而,所选择的CNN特征总是针对不同的任务进行预训练,并且跟踪系统中的各个组件是独立学习的,因此所获得的跟踪性能可能不是最优的。
Besides, most of these trackers are not designed towards realtime applications because of their time-consuming feature extraction and complex optimization details.
此外,由于这些跟踪器费时的特征提取和复杂的优化细节,它们大多不是针对实时应用程序设计的。
In this paper, we propose an end-to-end framework to learn the convolutional features and perform the tracking process simultaneously,namely, a unified convolutional tracker (UCT).
在本文中,我们提出了一个端到端框架来学习卷积的特征并同时执行跟踪过程,即统一卷积跟踪器(UCT)。
Specifically, The UCT treats feature extractor and tracking process (ridge regression) both as convolution operation and trains them jointly, nabling learned CNN features are tightly coupled to tracking process.
具体来说,UCT将特征提取器feature extractor和跟踪处理(岭回归)tracking process (ridge regression)都作为卷积运算来处理,并对它们进行联合训练,nabling学习到的CNN feature与tracking process是紧密耦合的。
In online tracking, an efficient updating method is proposed by introducing peak-versus-noise ratio (PNR) criterion, and scale changes are handled efficiently by incorporating a scale branch into network.
在在线跟踪中,通过引入峰值噪声比(PNR)准则,提出了一种有效的更新方法,并将尺度分支并入网络,有效地处理尺度变化。
The proposed approach results in superior tracking performance, while maintaining real-time speed.
该方法在保持实时性的同时,具有较好的跟踪性能。
The standard UCT and UCT-Lite can track generic objects at 41 FPS and 154 FPS without further optimization, respectively.
标准UCT和UCT- lite无需进一步优化即可分别在41 FPS和154 FPS下跟踪通用对象。
Experiments are performed on four challenging benchmark tracking datasets: OTB2013, OTB2015, VOT2014 and VOT2015, and our method achieves state-ofthe-art results on these benchmarks compared with other real-time trackers.在OTB2013、OTB2015、VOT2014和VOT2015这四个具有挑战性的基准跟踪数据集上进行了实验,与其他实时跟踪器相比,我们的方法在这些基准上取得了最先进的结果。
