Abstract: Vehicle tracking task plays an important role on the Internet of vehicles and intelligent transportation system. Beyond the traditional Global Positioning System sensor, the image sensor can capture different kinds of vehicles, analyze their driving situation, and can interact with them. Aiming at the problem that the traditional convolutional neural network is vulnerable to background interference, this article proposes vehicle tracking method based on human attention mechanism for self-selection of deep features with an inter-channel fully connected layer. It mainly includes the following contents: (1) a fully convolutional neural network fused attention mechanism with the selection of the deep features for convolution; (2) a separation method for template and semantic background region to separate target vehicles from the background in the initial frame adaptively; (3) a two-stage method for model training using our traffic dataset. The experimental results show that the proposed method improves the tracking accuracy without an increase in tracking time. Meanwhile, it strengthens the robustness of algorithm under the condition of the complex background region. The success rate of the proposed method in overall traffic datasets is higher than Siamese network by about 10%, and the overall precision is higher than Siamese network by 8%.
