Correlation Filters (CFs) based trackers have recently attracted many researchers’ attention because of their high efficiency and robustness. Nevertheless, CFs trackers usually require a cosine window on account of the boundary effects. This allows trackers to distinguish targets in small background areas. In this paper, we propose an online learning algorithm that employs the global context to alleviate the problems. It is based on Passive-Aggressive algorithm that incorporates context information within CFs trackers. In addition, we train an SVM classifier to redetect objects in case of the model drift caused by occlusion and fast motion etc. The results of extensive experiments on a large-scale benchmark dataset show that the proposed tracker outperform the state-of-the-art trackers.
Image quality assessment is needed in multiple image processing areas and blur is one of the key reasons of image deterioration. Although great full-reference image quality assessment metrics have been proposed in the past few years, no-reference method is still an area of current research. Facing this problem, this paper proposes a no-reference sharpness assessment method based on wavelet transformation which focuses on the edge area of image. Based on two simple characteristics of human vision system, weights are introduced to calculate weighted log-energy of each wavelet sub band. The final score is given by the ratio of high-frequency energy to the total energy. The algorithm is tested on multiple databases. Comparing with several state-of-the-art metrics, proposed algorithm has better performance and less runtime consumption.
Object tracking in video sequences has broad applications in both military and civilian domains. However, as the length of input video sequence increases, a number of problems arise, such as severe object occlusion, object appearance variation, and object out-of-view (some portion or the entire object leaves the image space). To deal with these problems and identify the object being tracked from cluttered background, we present a robust appearance model using Speeded Up Robust Features (SURF) and advanced integrated features consisting of the Felzenszwalb's Histogram of Oriented Gradients (FHOG) and color attributes. Since re-detection is essential in long-term tracking, we develop an effective object re-detection strategy based on moving area detection. We employ the popular kernel correlation filters in our algorithm design, which facilitates high-speed object tracking. Our evaluation using the CVPR2013 Object Tracking Benchmark (OTB2013) dataset illustrates that the proposed algorithm outperforms reference state-of-the-art trackers in various challenging scenarios.
