Abstract

Object tracking is one of the most important but still difficult tasks in computer vision and pattern recognition. The main difficulties in the tracking task are appearance variation of target objects and occlusion. To deal with those difficulties, we propose a object tracking method combining Single Shot Multibox Detector (SSD), Fully Convolutional Network (FCN) and Dynamic Programming (DP). SSD and FCN provide a probability value of the target object which allows for appearance variation within each category. DP provides a globally optimal tracking path even with severe occlusions. Through several experiments, we confirmed that their combination realized a robust object tracking method. Also, in contrast to traditional trackers, initial position and a template of the target do not need to be specified. We show that the proposed method has a higher performance than the traditional trackers in tracking various single objects through video frames.
