Abstract

We present Siam R-CNN, a Siamese re-detection architecture which unleashes the full power of two-stage object detection approaches for visual object tracking. We combine this with a novel tracklet-based dynamic programming algorithm, which takes advantage of re-detections of both the first-frame template and previous-frame predictions, to model the full history of both the object to be tracked and potential distractor objects. This enables our approach to make better tracking decisions, as well as to re-detect tracked objects after long occlusion. Finally, we propose a novel hard example mining strategy to improve Siam R-CNN's robustness to similar looking objects. Siam R-CNN achieves the current best performance on ten tracking benchmarks, with especially strong results for long-term tracking. We make our code and models available at www.vision.rwth-aachen.de/page/siamrcnn.

  • On GOT-10k, TransT-GOT performs 2.2% higher than SiamR-CNN in the main AO metric.

    “TransT-GOT method performs 2.2% higher than SiamR-CNN in the main AO metric.”

    From Transformer Tracking (2021) · cites this paper as [39]

    The GOT-10k results in the NfS section report a 64.9% success rate for Siam R-CNN. Our copy does not report a TransT-GOT result or a 2.2-percentage-point AO comparison with it, so the claimed difference is unsupported. (LLM, conf=0.82)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • SiamR-CNN runs at less than 5 fps on the authors' machine, while TransT runs at 50 fps.

    “but SiamR-CNN merely runs less than 5 fps in our machine, while our tracker runs at 50 fps”

  • On the LaSOT dataset, TransT obtains the best performance among compared trackers, better than other trackers by a significant margin except SiamR-CNN.

    “This table shows that the proposed method obtains the best performance, better than other trackers by a significant margin except SiamRCNN [39]”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
