Object Tracking Benchmark

Abstract

Object tracking has been one of the most important and active research areas in the field of computer vision. A large number of tracking algorithms have been proposed in recent years with demonstrated success. However, the set of sequences used for evaluation is often not sufficient or is sometimes biased for certain types of algorithms. Many datasets do not have common ground-truth object positions or extents, and this makes comparisons among the reported quantitative results difficult. In addition, the initial conditions or parameters of the evaluated tracking algorithms are not the same, and thus, the quantitative results reported in literature are incomparable or sometimes contradictory. To address these issues, we carry out an extensive evaluation of the state-of-the-art online object-tracking algorithms with various evaluation criteria to understand how these methods perform within the same framework. In this work, we first construct a large dataset with ground-truth object positions and extents for tracking and introduce the sequence attributes for the performance analysis. Second, we integrate most of the publicly available trackers into one code library with uniform input and output formats to facilitate large-scale performance evaluation. Third, we extensively evaluate the performance of 31 algorithms on 100 sequences with different initialization settings. By analyzing the quantitative results, we identify effective approaches for robust tracking and provide potential future research directions in this field.

TL;DR

This paper presents a large-scale benchmark for online single-object tracking, with 50 annotated sequences, a code library of 29 trackers, and one-pass, temporal, and spatial robustness evaluations. It uses precision and success plots plus sequence attributes to identify effective tracking components and future research directions.

Key findings

  • The benchmark includes 50 fully annotated sequences, 11 attributes, 29 tracking algorithms, and more than 660,000 bounding box outputs; the OCC subset contains 29 sequences.
  • In success plots, top-ranked SCM in OPE outperforms Struck by 2.6%, but SCM is 1.9% below Struck in SRE; OPE is described as not the best performance indicator because it is one trial of SRE or TRE.
  • Sparse-representation trackers perform well in SRE and TRE; local sparse representations (SCM, ASLA, LSK) outperform holistic sparse templates (MTT, L1APG). On OCC, Struck, SCM, TLD, LSK, and ASLA outperform others; on SV, ASLA, SCM, and Struck perform best; for fast motion, dense-sampling trackers such as Struck, TLD, and CXT perform much better than others.
  • Performance often decreases significantly when initialization scale is large (e.g., ×1.2); Struck is less sensitive to scale variation than other well-performing methods, and CSK has the highest speed among the top 10 due to its circulant structure.

Methods

  • Built a tracking dataset of 50 fully annotated sequences with 11 attributes and a code library integrating 29 publicly available trackers with uniform input/output formats, plus VIVID testbed methods.
  • Used precision plots based on center location error, with representative score at threshold = 20 pixels, and success plots based on bounding box overlap, ranked by area under curve (AUC).
  • Evaluated with one-pass evaluation (OPE), temporal robustness evaluation (TRE; each sequence partitioned into 20 segments), and spatial robustness evaluation (SRE; 12 runs per sequence using 8 spatial shifts and 4 scale variations, with shift amount 10% of target size and scale ratios 0.8, 0.9, 1.1, 1.2). OPE tested each tracker on more than 29,000 frames, SRE generated more than 350,000 bounding box results, and TRE performed on around 310,000 frames.

Limitations

  • Stated: due to space limitations, the main paper presents only the top 10 trackers and only the OCC, SV, and FM attribute subsets; complete plots are in the supplementary material.
  • Stated/evident: evaluation is restricted to trackers whose original source or binary codes are publicly available and uses default parameters from the source code; the work focuses on online single-target tracking, and the paper notes there is no single tracking approach that can successfully handle all scenarios.
  • Evident: conclusions are tied to the 50-sequence dataset and its attribute thresholds, such as SV with \(t_s=2\), FM with \(t_m=20\), and LR with \(t_r=400\).

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.

Claims read by deepseek-v4.1-flash under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-10-08.

Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-10-08.

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.
