Visual object tracking for unmanned aerial vehicles: A benchmark and new motion models

Created by Siyi Li and Dit-Yan Yeung at HKUST.

Introduction

Drone Tracking Benchmark (DTB70) is a unified tracking benchmark on the drone platform. In this benchmark, we provide an extensive study of the state-of-the-art trackers and their various motion model variants on the DTB70 dataset. Detailed description of the benchmark can be found in our paper.

Requirements

For the installation of specific trackers, please refer to the corresponding documentation.

Download dataset

Download the dataset from Baiduyun link. Put the unzipped file under the data directory. Also, change the dataset path config in file experiments/util/configDTBSeqs.m.

The dataset format follows OTB50.

How to install individual trackers

Run demo examples

Run the run_demo.m script.

Run evaluation toolkit

Run the main_running.m script under the experiments directory. You can config the trackers list in file experiments/util/configTrackers.m.
