摘要

Vehicle tracking in road scenarios needs to adapt to varying illumination conditions, while also handling challenges such as similar vehicles, different occlusions, and image blur caused by camera shake or fast vehicle motion. Considering the road surveillance pattern and the vehicle’s appearance and motion changes, this paper proposes a Siamese vehicle tracker for road surveillance, namely SiamVTRS. It achieves a pragmatic and efficient combination of SiamCAR, a Kalman filter with camera motion compensation (CMC), and an adaptive template update mechanism. Additionally, SiamCAR is appropriately optimized and equipped with the average peak-to-correlation energy (APCE) assessment, which can perceive and suppress the common distractions in road scenarios. Furthermore, a re-capture strategy considering the target prior’s state is proposed to assist tracking when the target is missing or faces severe distractions. It performs global detection of candidate vehicles based on the target’s prior location and appearance state, aiming to rapidly re-locating the target. Extensive experiments are conducted on the UA-DETRC, DTB70, and UAV123 datasets, where the success rates of SiamVTRS on vehicle sequences reach 79.2%, 88.2%, and 91.8%, respectively. Compared with other mainstream trackers, SiamVTRS achieves competitive performance and demonstrates superior vehicle tracking in diverse road scenarios.
