Target tracking algorithm with adaptive learning rate complementary filtering

The Correlation filtering algorithm is not effective for fast deformation and fast movement. It is easy to lose when encountering problems such as occlusion. However, it has a good advantage of dealing with situations such as motion blur and lighting changes. A tracking algorithm based on color statistical features has a good effect on the rotation and translation of objects. The Staple algorithm combines the two algorithms to track using complementary fusion, but it also does not handle the occlusion and other issues well. In this paper, based on the Staple algorithm, the average peak correlation energy (APCE) and the maximum response are introduced. The value is used as the tracking confidence, and a detector using a support vector machine (SVM) is added. When the tracking confidence is low, the target is blocked or moved violently. At this time, the detector works, and the search area is expanded around the original area for the target. At the same time, because the traditional tracking algorithm uses a fixed learning rate to update the template, this paper uses an adaptive tracking learning rate. When the tracking confidence is low, the update speed of the target model is reduced, which can effectively deal with the occlusion deformation in the tracking process. OTB100 benchmark experiments show that this method can solve the occlusion problem during target tracking. The degree of change is robust and stability.
