Abstract

A discrete correlation-filter-based multi-cue-analysis framework is constructed by fusing different feature types to form potential candidate trackers that track the target independently. The selection of corresponding cues and the exploitation of their individual or combined strengths is a less researched topic especially in the context of ensemble tracking. Every candidate tracker from the ensemble is chosen according to the degree of its robustness per frame. We argue that, if each of the candidate trackers is guided by higher-level semantic information (i.e. pixel-wise saliency maps in ensemble-based tracker), this will make tracking better to cope with appearance or view point changes. Recently, saliency prediction using deep architectures have made this process accurate and fast. The formation of multiple candidate trackers by saliency-guided features along with other different handcrafted and hierarchical feature types enhances the robustness score for that specific tracker. It improved multiple tracker-based DCF frameworks in efficiency and accuracy as reported in our experimental evaluation, compared to state-of-the-art ensemble trackers.
