Abstract

Visual object tracking is one of the oldest tasks in computer vision. Interestingly, when it comes to longer sequences object tracking must address significant challenges that relate to model decay, that is the worsening of the model due to added bias, and target disappearance and reappearance. While model decay is also present in short-term tracking, in longer sequences the gradually added bias becomes so much more significant, that the tracker fails completely. The success of deep learning has influenced visual object tracking, especially in the context of long-term sequences. The reason ...
