py-VITAL

by Xiaoping Wang.

Introduction

Python (PyTorch) implementation of VITAL tracker. VITAL is a great tracker invented by Song, Yibing and Ma, Chao and et al. This implementation is based on py-MDNet, it is implemented by Hyeonseob Nam and Bohyung Han. Thanks to all of them.

Prerequisites

• python 3.6+
• opencv 3.0+
• PyTorch 1.0+ and its dependencies

Usage

Tracking

 python tracking/run_tracker.py -s DragonBaby [-d (display fig)] [-f (save fig)]

• You can provide a sequence configuration in two ways (see tracking/gen_config.py):
  • python tracking/run_tracker.py -s [seq name]
  • python tracking/run_tracker.py -j [json path]

Pretraining

• Download VGG-M (matconvnet model) and save as "models/imagenet-vgg-m.mat"
• Pretraining on VOT-OTB
  • Download VOT datasets into "datasets/VOT/vot201x"

   python pretrain/prepro_vot.py
   python pretrain/train_mdnet.py -d vot
  

• Pretraining on ImageNet-VID
  • Download ImageNet-VID dataset into "datasets/ILSVRC"

   python pretrain/prepro_imagenet.py
   python pretrain/train_mdnet.py -d imagenet
