Sumario:Correlation filter (CF) based trackers have gained significant attention in the field of visual single-object tracking, owing to their favorable performance and high efficiency; however, existing trackers still suffer from model drift caused by boundary effects and filter degradation. In visual tracking, long-term occlusion and large appearance variations easily cause model degradation. To remedy these drawbacks, we propose a sparse adaptive spatial-temporal context-aware method that effectively avoids model drift. Specifically, a global context is explicitly incorporated into the correlation filter to mitigate boundary effects. Subsequently, an adaptive temporal regularization constraint is adopted in the filter training stage to avoid model degradation. Meanwhile, a sparse response constraint is introduced to reduce the risk of further model drift. Furthermore, we apply the alternating direction multiplier method (ADMM) to derive a closed-solution of the object function with a low computational cost. In addition, an updating scheme based on the APCE-pool and Peak-pool is proposed to reveal the tracking condition and ensure updates of the target’s appearance model with high-confidence. The Kalam filter is adopted to track the target when the appearance model is persistently unreliable and abnormality occurs. Finally, extensive experimental results on OTB-2013, OTB-2015 and VOT2018 datasets show that our proposed tracker performs favorably against several state-of-the-art trackers.
