Dual attention mechanism object tracking algorithm based on Fully-convolutional Siamese network

Abstract

In an effort to the problem of insufficient tracking performance of the Fully-convolutional Siamese network (SiamFC) in complex scenarios, a dual attention mechanism object tracking algorithm based on the Fully-convolutional Siamese network is proposed to improve the generalization capability of the tracker by ameliorating the robustness of the template characteristics. Firstly, a global context attention module is appended after the backbone network of SiamFC to ameliorate the power of original feature extraction from two dimensions of spatial and channel. Then, a coordinate attention module is introduced to augment the capability of feature extraction in the channel dimension. Finally, the model of the proposed algorithm is trained on the Got-10k dataset. Five related algorithms are tested on the OTB2015 dataset, the results of experiments manifest that our algorithm outperforms the baseline trackers, the success and precision rate of the proposed algorithm are improved by 3.3% and 6.3%. The average tracking speed is 145FPS, which can demand the requirement of real-time tracking.
