• Abstract: The crux of long-term tracking lies in the difficulty of tracking the target with discontinuous moving caused by out-of-view or occlusion. Existing long-term tracking methods follow two typical strategies. The first strategy employs a local tracker to perform smooth tracking and uses another re-detector to detect the target when the target is lost. While it can exploit the temporal context like historical appearances and locations of the target, a potential limitation of such strategy is that the local tracker tends to misidentify a nearby distractor as the target instead of activating the re-detector when the real target is out of view. The other long-term tracking strategy tracks the target in the entire image globally instead of local tracking based on the previous tracking results. Unfortunately, such global tracking strategy cannot leverage the temporal context effectively. In this work, we combine the advantages of both strategies: tracking the target in a global view while exploiting the temporal context. Specifically, we perform global tracking via ensemble of local trackers spreading the full image. The smooth moving of the target can be handled steadily by one local tracker. When the local tracker accidentally loses the target due to suddenly discontinuous moving, another local tracker close to the target is then activated and can readily take over the tracking to locate the target. While the activated local tracker performs tracking locally by leveraging the temporal context, the ensemble of local trackers renders our model the global view for tracking. Extensive experiments on six datasets demonstrate that our method performs favorably against state-of-the-art algorithms.

  We propose a recoverable tracking framework, RTracker, that uses a tree-structured memory to dynamically associate a tracker and a detector to enable self-recovery. Specifically, we propose a Positive-Negative Tree-structured memory to chronologically store and maintain positive and negative target samples. Our core idea is to use the support samples of positive and negative target categories to establish a relative distance-based criterion for a reliable assessment of target loss.

  We propose a novel target-aware attention mechanism (termed TANet) to conduct joint local and global search for robust tracking. Specifically, we extract the features of target object patch and continuous video frames, then we track and feed them into a decoder network to generate target-aware global attention maps. In the tracking procedure, we integrate the target-aware attention with multiple trackers by exploring candidate search regions for robust tracking.

  A practical long-term tracker typically contains three key properties, i.e. an efficient model design, an effective global re-detection strategy and a robust distractor awareness mechanism. We propose a two-task tracking frame work (named DMTrack) to achieve distractor-aware fast tracking via Dynamic convolutions (d-convs) and Multiple object tracking (MOT) philosophy. Our tracker achieves state-of-the-art performance on the LaSOT, OxUvA, TLP, VOT2018LT and VOT 2019LT benchmarks and runs in real-time (3x faster

  We propose to introduce more dynamics by devising a dynamic attention-guided multi-trajectory tracking strategy. In particular, we construct dynamic appearance model that contains multiple target templates, each of which provides its own attention for locating the target in the new frame. After spanning the whole sequence, we introduce a multi-trajectory selection network to find the best trajectory that delivers improved tracking performance.
