The official implementation for the ACCV 2024 paper [NT-VOT211: A Large-Scale Benchmark for Night-time Visual Object Tracking]
Yu Liu, Arif Mahmood, Muhammad Haris Khan
Abstract
Many current visual object tracking benchmarks such as OTB100, NfS, UAV123, LaSOT, and GOT-10K, predominantly contain day-time scenarios while the challenges posed by the night-time has been less investigated. It is primarily because of the lack of a large-scale, well-annotated night-time benchmark for rigorously evaluating tracking algorithms. To this end, this paper presents NT-VOT211, a new benchmark tailored for evaluating visual object tracking algorithms in the challenging night-time conditions. NT-VOT211 consists of 211 diverse videos, offering 211,000 well-annotated frames with 8 attributes including camera motion, deformation, fast motion, motion blur, tiny target, distractors, occlusion and out-of-view.

Run on our dataset
Please follow these step-by-step instructions to evaluate your algorithm.
Evaluation on server
Challenge Phases: Please note that our challenge is divided into two phases: the public phase and the private phase.
- In the private phase, you are allowed to submit a maximum of 100 submissions per day.
- In the public phase, you are limited to a maximum of 1 submission per month.
We have implemented these limits to maintain a clean and readable leaderboard. We encourage all challengers to submit only their most competitive results on the public leaderboard. To evaluate your results, please follow this tutorial.
