Learning multiple instance deep representation for objects tracking

Object tracking has been widely used in various intelligent systems, such as pedestrian tracking, autonomous vehicles. To solve the problem that appearance changes and occlusion may lead to poor tracking performance, we propose a multiple instance learning (MIL) based method for object tracking. To achieve this task, we first manually label the first several frames of video stream in image level, which can indicate that whether a target object in the video stream. Then, we leverage a pre-trained convolutional neural network that has rich prior information to extract deep representation of target object. Since the location of the same object in adjacent frames is similar, we introduce a particle filter to predict the location of target object within a specific region. Comprehensive experiments have shown the effectiveness of our proposed method. (c) 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
