Face tracking

Object tracking tries to estimate the trajectory of the target throughout the video sequence where only the initial location of a target is known. This task is really challenging on account of several factors, such as appearance variations, occlusions, fast motion, motion blur, and scale variations.

In this sense, discriminative correlation filter (DCF)-based visual trackers provide state-of-the-art performance. Additionally, these trackers are computationally efficient, which is critical in real-time applications. Indeed, the state-of-the-art performance of DCF-based trackers can be seen in the results of the visual object tracking (VOT) 2014 Challenge. In the VOT2014 Challenge, the top three trackers are based on correlation ...
