Official implementation of TaMOs. TaMOs is the first generico object tracker to tackle the problem of tracking multiple generic object at once. It uses a shared model predictor consisting of a Transformer in order to produce multiple target models (one for each specified target). It achieves sub-linear run-time when tracking multiple objects and outperforms existing single object trackers when running one instance for each target separately. TaMOs serves as the baseline tracker for the new large-scale generic object tracking benchmark LaGOT (see here) that contains multiple annotated target objects per sequence.

Official implementation of RTS. RTS is a robust, end-to-end trainable, segmentation-centric pipeline that internally works with segmentation masks instead of bounding boxes. Thus, it can learn a better target representation that clearly differentiates the target from the background. To achieve the necessary robustness for challenging tracking scenarios, a separate instance localization component is used to condition the segmentation decoder when producing the output mask.

Official implementation of ToMP. ToMP employs a Transformer-based model prediction module in order to localize the target. The model predictor is further extended to estimate a second set of weights that are applied for accurate bounding box regression. The resulting tracker ToMP relies on training and on test frame information in order to predict all weights transductively.

Official implementation of KeepTrack. KeepTrack actively handles distractor objects to continue tracking the target. It employs a learned target candidate association network, that allows to propagate the identities of all target candidates from frame-to-frame. To tackle the problem of lacking groundtruth correspondences between distractor objects in visual tracking, it uses a training strategy that combines partial annotations with self-supervision.

Official implementation of the LWL tracker. LWL is an end-to-end trainable video object segmentation architecture which captures the current target object information in a compact parametric model. It integrates a differentiable few-shot learner module, which predicts the target model parameters using the first frame annotation. The learner is designed to explicitly optimize an error between target model prediction and a ground truth label. LWL further learns the ground-truth labels used by the few-shot learner to train the target model. All modules in the architecture are trained end-to-end by maximizing segmentation accuracy on annotated VOS videos.

Official implementation of the KYS tracker. Unlike conventional frame-by-frame detection based tracking, KYS
propagates valuable scene information through the sequence. This information is used to
achieve an improved scene-aware target prediction in each frame. The scene information is represented using a dense
set of localized state vectors. These state vectors are propagated through the sequence and combined with the appearance
model output to localize the target. The network is learned to effectively utilize the scene information by directly maximizing tracking performance on video segments

Official implementation of the PrDiMP tracker. This work proposes a general formulation for probabilistic regression, which is then applied to visual tracking in the DiMP framework. The network predicts the conditional probability density of the target state given an input image. The probability density is flexibly parametrized by the neural network itself. The regression network is trained by directly minimizing the Kullback-Leibler divergence.

Official implementation of the DiMP tracker. DiMP is an end-to-end tracking architecture, capable of fully exploiting both target and background appearance information for target model prediction. It is based on a target model prediction network, which is derived from a discriminative learning loss by applying an iterative optimization procedure. The model prediction network employs a steepest descent based methodology that computes an optimal step length in each iteration to provide fast convergence. The model predictor also includes an initializer network that efficiently provides an initial estimate of the model weights.

Official implementation of the ATOM tracker. ATOM is based on (i) a target estimation module that is trained offline, and (ii) target classification module that is trained online. The target estimation module is trained to predict the intersection-over-union (IoU) overlap between the target and a bounding box estimate. The target classification module is learned online using dedicated optimization techniques to discriminate between the target object and background.

An unofficial implementation of the ECO tracker. It is implemented based on an extensive and general library for complex operations and Fourier tools. The implementation differs from the version used in the original paper in a few important aspects.
- This implementation uses features from vgg-m layer 1 and resnet18 residual block 3.
- As in our later UPDT tracker, seperate filters are trained for shallow and deep features, and extensive data augmentation is employed in the first frame.
- The GMM memory module is not implemented, instead the raw projected samples are stored.
Please refer to the official implementation of ECO if you are looking to reproduce the results in the ECO paper or download the raw results.
We list associated trackers that can be found in external repositories.
Official implementation of E.T.Track. E.T.Track utilized our proposed Exemplar Transformer, a transformer module utilizing a single instance level attention layer for realtime visual object tracking. E.T.Track is up to 8x faster than other transformer-based models, and consistently outperforms competing lightweight trackers that can operate in realtime on standard CPUs.
