Abstract

Correlation filters (CFs) have shown excellent performance in visual tracking. They exploit the circular shift of the foreground target to learn the training samples. However, the boundary effect caused by circulant assumption on a small search region limits the ability of such trackers. To overcome this problem, we propose a novel correlation filter tracking framework that takes a larger spatial context into account. In order to make the filter model generate a strong response to the foreground target but a low response to background region, we design an effective cosine window. Extensive experimental results in both quantitative and qualitative measures demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm compared to several state-of-the-art trackers.
