Abstract
Supervised and unsupervised deep trackers that rely on deep learning technologies are popular in recent years. Yet, they demand high computational complexity and a high memory cost. A green unsupervised single-object tracker, called GUSOT, that aims at object tracking for long videos under a resource-constrained environment is proposed in this work. Built upon a baseline tracker, UHP-SOT++, which works well for short-term tracking, GUSOT contains two additional new modules: 1) lost object recovery, and 2) color-saliency-based shape proposal. They help resolve the tracking loss problem and offer a more flexible object proposal, respectively. Thus, they enable GUSOT to achieve higher tracking accuracy in the long run. We conduct experiments on the large-scale dataset LaSOT with long video sequences, and show that GUSOT offers a lightweight high-performance tracking solution that finds applications in mobile and edge computing platforms.
