Abstract
- Recently, template-based trackers have become the leading tracking algorithms with promising performance in terms of efficiency and accuracy. However, the correlation operation between query feature and the given template only exploits accurate target localization, leading to state estimation error especially when the target suffers from severe deformable variations. To address this issue, segmentation-based trackers have been proposed that employ per-pixel matching to improve the tracking performance of deformable objects effectively. However, most of existing trackers only refer to the target features in the initial frame, thereby lacking the discriminative capacity to handle challenging factors, e.g., similar distractors, background clutter, appearance change, etc. To this end, we propose a dynamic compact memory embedding to enhance the discrimination of the segmentation-based deformable visual tracking method. Specifically, we initialize a memory embedding with the target features in the first frame. During the tracking process, the current target features that have high correlation with existing memory are updated to the memory embedding online. To further improve the segmentation accuracy for deformable objects, we employ a point-to-global matching strategy to measure the correlation between the pixel-wise query features and the whole template, so as to capture more detailed deformation information. Extensive evaluations on six challenging tracking benchmarks including VOT2016, VOT2018, VOT2019, GOT-10K, TrackingNet, and LaSOT demonstrate the superiority of our method over recent remarkable trackers. Besides, our method outperforms the excellent segmentation-based trackers, i.e., D3S and SiamMask on DAVIS2017 benchmark.
