TCTrack: Temporal Contexts for Aerial Tracking

Temporal contexts among consecutive frames are far from being fully utilized in existing visual trackers. In this work, we present TCTrack 1 1 https://github.com/vision4robotics/TCTrack, a comprehensive framework to fully exploit temporal contexts for aerial tracking. The temporal contexts are incorporated at two levels: the extraction of features and the refinement of similarity maps. Specifically, for feature extraction, an online temporally adaptive convolution is proposed to enhance the spatial features using temporal information, which is achieved by dynamically calibrating the convolution weights according to the previous frames. For similarity map refinement, we propose an adaptive temporal transformer,…
