Alpha-Refine: Boosting Tracking Performance by Precise Bounding Box Estimation

4 Jul 2020  ·  Bin Yan, Dong Wang, Huchuan Lu, Xiaoyun Yang ·

In recent years, the multiple-stage strategy has become a popular trend for visual tracking. This strategy first utilizes a base tracker to coarsely locate the target and then exploits a refinement module to obtain more accurate results. However, existing refinement modules suffer from the limited transferability and precision. In this work, we propose a novel, flexible and accurate refinement module called Alpha-Refine, which exploits a precise pixel-wise correlation layer together with a spatial-aware non-local layer to fuse features and can predict three complementary outputs: bounding box, corners and mask. To wisely choose the most adequate output, we also design a light-weight branch selector module. We apply the proposed Alpha-Refine module to five famous and state-of-the-art base trackers: DiMP, ATOM, SiamRPN++, RTMDNet and ECO. The comprehensive experiments on TrackingNet, LaSOT and VOT2018 benchmarks demonstrate that our approach significantly improves the tracking performance in comparison with other existing refinement methods.
