Abstract

Summary: Correlation filter (CF)–based tracking algorithms is most popular in recent years due to its high accuracy and impressive speed. However, it has some intrinsically drawbacks such as margin suppression, sensitive for disturbance, and partial occlusions. Contrasted with CF drawbacks, the advantages of particle filter (PF) tracking algorithm include robustness, motion prediction, and wide detection range. Therefore, it can amend some CF tracker drawbacks. On the other hand, the HOG feature is widely used in CF tracker because it can detect the target precision position. However, this kind of feature is rotation‐variation, which is invalid for rotation transformation target. On the contrary, the tracker precision merely based on colour feature is rough, but colour feature is rotation invariation and is effective for rotating target; therefore, these two features are complementary. In this paper, we integrate both trackers (CF and PF) to learn the HOG and colour feature, respectively, experiments demonstrate this tracking algorithm is more robust, and the tracking precision is more accurate. This algorithm is integrated with some classic CF trackers (KCF, SAMF, and MOSSE) framework and benchmark them against their baseline. On the OTB2015 benchmark datasets, experiment result demonstrates OPE performance grades have improved from about 1% to 12%; SRE Performance grades have improved from about 1.3% to 5.8%.
