CF_Tracking

This is a fork of cf_tracking, meant for use as a library.

This repository provides C++ implementations for two correlation filter-based trackers. The code implements modified versions of the visual trackers proposed in [1] and [2]:

• KCFcpp: This tracker is a C++ port of the Matlab implementation of the kernelized correlation filter (KCF) tracker proposed in [1]. Project webpage: http://home.isr.uc.pt/~henriques/circulant/ KCFcpp uses as default scale adaption the 1D scale filter proposed in [2]. In addition, a fixed template size, the subpixel/subcell response peak estimation, and the model update from [3] is used as in the KCF version used by Henriques et al. in the VOT challenge 2014 (http://votchallenge.net/vot2014/). The scale adaption used by Henriques et al. in the VOT challenge 2014 is available as option.
• DSSTcpp: This tracker is a C++ port of the Matlab implementation of the discriminative scale space tracker (DSST) proposed in [2]. The default settings use a fixed template size and the subpixel/cell response peak estimation as in the KCF version. Project webpage: http://www.cvl.isy.liu.se/en/research/objrec/visualtracking/scalvistrack/index.html

Both implementations use the FHOG features proposed in [4].

More specifically, the FHOG implementation from [5] is used.

Both trackers offer the option to use the target loss detection proposed in [6].
