Junjie Ye, Changhong Fu, Guangze Zheng, Danda Pani Paudel, and Guang Chen. Unsupervised Domain Adaptation for Nighttime Aerial Tracking. In CVPR, pages 1-10, 2022.

Overview

UDAT is an unsupervised domain adaptation framework for visual object tracking. This repo contains its Python implementation.

Paper | NAT2021 benchmark

Testing UDAT

1. Preprocessing

Before training, we need to preprocess the unlabelled training data to generate training pairs.

1. Download the proposed NAT2021-train set

2. Customize the directory of the train set in lowlight_enhancement.py and enhance the nighttime sequences

   cd preprocessing/
   python lowlight_enhancement.py # enhanced sequences will be saved at '/YOUR/PATH/NAT2021/train/data_seq_enhanced/'
   

3. Download the video saliency detection model here and place it at preprocessing/models/checkpoints/.

4. Predict salient objects and obtain candidate boxes

   python inference.py # candidate boxes will be saved at 'coarse_boxes/' as .npy
   

5. Generate pseudo annotations from candidate boxes using dynamic programming

   python gen_seq_bboxes.py # pseudo box sequences will be saved at 'pseudo_anno/'
   

6. Generate cropped training patches and a JSON file for training

   python par_crop.py
   python gen_json.py
   

2. Train

Take UDAT-CAR for instance.

1. Apart from above target domain dataset NAT2021, you need to download and prepare source domain datasets VID and GOT-10K.

2. Download the pre-trained daytime model (SiamCAR/SiamBAN) and place it at UDAT/tools/snapshot.

3. Start training

   cd UDAT/CAR
   export PYTHONPATH=$PWD
   python tools/train.py
   

3. Test

Take UDAT-CAR for instance.

1. For quick test, you can download our trained model for UDAT-CAR (or UDAT-BAN) and place it at UDAT/CAR/experiments/udatcar_r50_l234.

2. Start testing

   python tools/test.py --dataset NAT
   

4. Eval

1. Start evaluating

   python tools/eval.py --dataset NAT
