Abstract
Visual tracking is a challenging task where the target may undergo background clutters, deformation, severe occlusion and out-of-view in video sequences. In this paper, we propose a novel tracking method, which utilizes representative parts of the target to handle occlusion situations. For the sake of efficiency, we train a classifier for each part using correlation filter which has been used in visual tracking recently due to its computational efficiency. In addition, we exploit the motion vectors of reliable parts between two consecutive frames to estimate the position of the object target and we utilize the spatial relationship between representative part and target center to estimate the scale of the target. Furthermore, part models are adaptively updated to avoid introducing errors which can cause model drift. Extensive experiments show that our algorithm is comparable to state-of-the-art methods on visual tracking benchmark in terms of accuracy and robustness.
