Appearance Based Online Visual Object Tracking

Abstract

This thesis presents research contributions to the field of computer vision based visual object tracking. This study investigates appearance based object tracking by using traditional hand-crafted and deep features. The thesis proposes a real-time tracking framework with high accuracy which follows a deep similarity tracking strategy. This thesis also proposes several deep tracking frameworks for high-accuracy tracking and to manage the spatial information loss. The research findings of the study would be able to be used in a range of applications including visual surveillance systems.
