Abstract

Recent deep trackers have achieved impressive performance in visual tracking. Typically, these trackers apply complex deep networks with massive parameters for representing objects, which makes their deployment on resource-limited devices very challenging due to two reasons: (1) high computation complexity, and (2) high storage footprint. To address these two issues, this paper proposes a lightweight deep tracker to facilitate efficient tracking by using a small deep convolutional neural network. This tracker adaptively extracts features of interest from different deep layers for representing different objects, and then integrates into discriminative correlation filter formulation. Due to the usage of small deep networks and selection of deep features, the drop on tracking accuracy could be effectively alleviated, while the costs in computation and storage could be greatly reduced. This tracker can run at a very fast speed of 55 fps when only taking 4.8M parameters. Experimental results on the public OTB2013 and OTB100 benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed tracker.
