Abstract
This paper presents a comparative study of several state-of-the-art target tracking algorithms, including conventional and deep learning ones, for low quality videos. A challenge video data set known as SENSIAC, which contains both optical and infrared videos at long ranges (1000 m–5000 m), was used in our investigations. It was found that none of the trackers can perform well under all conditions. It appears that the field of video tracking still needs some serious development in order to reach maturity.
