Scale Adaptive Target Tracking Algorithm Based on Correlation Filtering

Abstract

Abstract Focusing on the issue that the kernel correlation filter tracking method can not accurately adapt to the target scale change, a scale estimation method is added under the kernel correlation filter tracking frame, and a scale adaptive target tracking algorithm is proposed. The algorithm firstly uses the kernel function to obtain the kernel correlation filter, and estimates the position of the target for the candidate sample detection; then uses the scale estimation method to detect the target scale to further determine the optimal scale of the target to be tracked in the current frame; Finally, according to the occlusion judgment mechanism, the parameters of the target performance model and the scale model are updated online. The experimental results show that compared with kernel correlation filtering algorithm, the proposed algorithm can accurately target tracking process to adapt to changes in the target scale, and the center position error reduced by an average of 4.39 pixels.
