Description
Résumé:To effectively solve the challenges in object tracking, such as large deformation and severe occlusion, many existing methods use graph-based models to capture target part relations, and adopt a sequential scheme of target part selection, part matching, and state estimation. However, such methods have two major drawbacks: 1) inaccurate part selection leads to performance deterioration of part matching and state estimation and 2) there are insufficient effective global constraints for local part selection and matching. In this paper, we propose a new object tracking method based on iterative graph seeking, which integrate target part selection, part matching, and state estimation using a unified energy minimization framework. Our method also incorporates structural information in local parts variations using the global constraint. We devise an alternative iteration scheme to minimize the energy function for searching the most plausible target geometric graph. Experimental results on several challenging benchmarks (i.e., VOT2015, OTB2013, and OTB2015) demonstrate improved performance and robustness in comparison with existing algorithms
