Abstract

KCF (Kernelized Correlation Filter) is a classical tracking algorithm based on correlation filter, which has good performance in short-term tracking. But when the object is partially or fully occluded, or disappeared in the view, KCF doesn’t work well. In this paper, a long-term tracking algorithm based on KCF is proposed. HOG (Histogram of Oriented Gradient) and LAB three-channel color information are employed to represent the object, and a re-detection module is added into the KCF tracking procedure. The peak ratio is introduced to control the start of the re-detection module, and a correlation filter model based on SURF feature points is re-learned to continuously track the occluded object. Experimental results on OTB dataset show that our algorithm has higher tracking accuracy than other five trackers, and is suitable for long-term tracking.
