Abstract:

Discriminative correlation filter- (DCF-) based trackers are computationally efficient and achieve excellent tracking in challenging applications. However, most of them suffer low accuracy and robustness due to the lack of diversity information extracted from a single type of spectral image (visible spectrum). Fusion of visible and infrared imaging sensors, one of the typical multisensor cooperation, provides complementarily useful features and consistently helps recognize the target from the background efficiently in visual tracking. Therefore, this paper proposes a discriminative fusion correlation learning model to improve DCF-based tracking performance by efficiently combining multiple features from visible and infrared images. Fusion learning filters are extracted via late fusion with early estimation, in which the performances of the filters are weighted to improve the flexibility of fusion. Moreover, the proposed discriminative filter selection model considers the surrounding background information in order to increase the discriminability of the template filters so as to improve model learning. Extensive experiments showed that the proposed method achieves superior performances in challenging visible and infrared tracking tasks.
