Abstract

We propose the visual tracker sampler, a novel tracking algorithm that can work robustly in challenging scenarios, where several kinds of appearance and motion changes of an object can occur simultaneously. The proposed tracking algorithm accurately tracks a target by searching for appropriate trackers in each frame. Since the real-world tracking environment varies severely over time, the trackers should be adapted or newly constructed depending on the current situation, so that each specific tracker takes charge of a certain change in the object. To do this, our method obtains several samples of not only the states of the target but also the trackers themselves during the sampling process. The trackers are efficiently sampled using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method from the predefined tracker space by proposing new appearance models, motion models, state representation types, and observation types, which are the important ingredients of visual trackers. All trackers are then integrated into one compound tracker through an Interacting MCMC (IMCMC) method, in which the trackers interactively communicate with one another while running in parallel. By exchanging information with others, each tracker further improves its performance, thus increasing overall tracking performance. Experimental results show that our method tracks the object accurately and reliably in realistic videos, where appearance and motion drastically change over time, and outperforms even state-of-the-art tracking methods.

摘要

我们提出了视觉跟踪采样器,这是一种新的跟踪算法,能够在具有挑战性的场景中稳健地工作,这些场景中可能同时发生多种物体的外观和运动变化。所提出的跟踪算法通过在每一帧中搜索合适的跟踪器来准确地跟踪目标。由于现实世界的跟踪环境随时间变化剧烈,跟踪器应该根据当前情况进行适应或重新构建,以便每个特定的跟踪器负责处理物体的某些变化。为此,我们的方法在采样过程中不仅获取目标的状态样本,还获取跟踪器本身的样本。通过提出新的外观模型、运动模型、状态表示类型和观测类型,使用马尔可夫链蒙特卡罗 (MCMC) 方法从预定义的跟踪器空间中有效地对跟踪器进行采样,这些都是视觉跟踪器的重要组成部分。然后,通过交互 MCMC (IMCMC) 方法将所有跟踪器集成到一个复合跟踪器中,其中跟踪器在并行运行时相互交互。通过与其他跟踪器交换信息,每个跟踪器进一步提高了自身的性能,从而提高了整体跟踪性能。实验结果表明,我们的方法在现实视频中能够准确可靠地跟踪物体,这些视频中的外观和运动随时间急剧变化,甚至超过了最先进的跟踪方法。
