Know Your Surroundings: Exploiting Scene Information for Object Tracking

Goutam Bhat, Martin Danelljan, Luc Van Gool, Radu Timofte

Abstract

Current state-of-the-art trackers rely only on a target appearance model in order to localize the object in each frame. Such approaches are however prone to fail in case of e.g. fast appearance changes or presence of distractor objects, where a target appearance model alone is insufficient for robust tracking. Having the knowledge about the presence and locations of other objects in the surrounding scene can be highly beneficial in such cases. This scene information can be propagated through the sequence and used to, for instance, explicitly avoid distractor objects and eliminate target candidate regions.
