CONTINUOUS LEARNING FOR OBJECT TRACKING

Abstract:

A long-term object tracker employs a continuous learning framework to overcome drift in the tracking position of a tracked object. The continuous learning framework consists of a continuous learning module that accumulates samples of the tracked object to improve the accuracy of object tracking over extended periods of time. The continuous learning module can include a sample pre-processor to refine a location of a candidate object found during object tracking, and a cropper to crop a portion of a frame containing a tracked object as a sample and to insert the sample into a continuous learning database to support future tracking.
