Semi-supervised On-Line Boosting for Robust Tracking

چکیده
Recently, on-line adaptation of binary classifiers for tracking have been investigated. On-line learning allows for simple classifiers since only the current view of the object from its surrounding background needs to be discriminiated. However, on-line adaption faces one key problem: Each update of the tracker may introduce an error which, finally, can lead to tracking failure (drifting). The contribution of this paper is a novel on-line semi-supervised boosting method which significantly alleviates the drifting problem in tracking applications. This allows to limit the drifting problem while still staying adaptive to appearance changes. The main idea is to formulate the update process in a semisupervised fashion as combined decision of a given prior and an on-line classifier. This comes without any parameter tuning. In the experiments, we demonstrate real-time tracking of our SemiBoost tracker on several challenging test sequences where our tracker outperforms other on-line tracking methods.

Recently, object tracking by detection using adaptive on-line classifiers has been investigated. In this case, the tracking problem is reduced to the discrimination of the current object view from the local background. However, on-line learning may introduce errors, which causes drifting and let the tracker fail. This can be avoided by using semi-supervised on-line learning (i.e., the use of la...

A successful approach to tracking is to on-line learn discriminative classifiers for the target objects. Although these trackingby-detection approaches are usually fast and accurate they easily drift in case of putative and self-enforced wrong updates. Recent work has shown that classifier-based trackers can be significantly stabilized by applying semi-supervised learning methods instead of sup...
