Spatial-sequential-spectral context awareness tracking

Visual context has formed a robust stimulation for visual perception. Spatio-temporal context in existing trackers sometimes shows weak reliability in visible light videos with poor quality. Supplemented by the infrared perception, this work exploits the role of visual context in tracking in a spatial-sequential-spectral view, by which to excavate dominance of different contexts in various scenarios. Specifically, we infer it in the Fourier domain with a real-time speed, and incorporate a fully-occlusion handling and scale adaptation with a trajectory regression filter and object contour closure, respectively. Extensive experiments on 50 video clips simultaneously containing registered RGB and thermal bands demonstrate that our tracker shows a state-of-the-art performance.
