Research on Anti-Occlusion Correlation Filtering Tracking Algorithm Based on Adaptive Scale

Abstract

Target tracking has always been an important research direction in the field of computer vision. The target tracking method based on correlation filtering has become a research hotspot in the field of target tracking due to its efficiency and robustness. In recent years, a series of new developments have been made in this research. However, traditional correlation filtering algorithms cannot achieve real-time tracking in complex scenes such as illumination changes, target occlusion, motion deformation, and motion blur due to their single characteristics and insufficient background information. Therefore, a scale-adaptive anti-occlusion correlation filtering tracking algorithm is proposed. First, solve the single feature problem of traditional correlation filters through feature fusion. Secondly, the scale pyramid is introduced to solve the problem of tracking failure caused by scale changes. In this paper, two independent filters are trained, namely the position filter and the scale filter, to locate and scale the target, respectively. Finally, an occlusion judgment strategy is proposed to improve the robustness of the algorithm in view of the tracking drift problem caused by the occlusion of the target. In addition, the problem of insufficient background information in traditional correlation filtering algorithms is improved by adding context-aware background information. The experimental results show that the improved algorithm has a significant improvement in success rate and accuracy compared when with the traditional kernel correlation filter tracking algorithm. When the target has large scale changes or there is occlusion, the improved algorithm can still keep stable tracking.
