Most state-of-the-art discriminative tracking approaches are based on either template appearance models or statistical appearance models. Despite template appearance models have shown excellent performance, they perform poorly when the target appearance changes rapidly. In contrast, statistic appearance models are insensitive to fast target state changes, but they yield inferior tracking results in challenging scenarios such as illumination variations and background clutters. In this paper, we propose an adaptive object tracking approach with complementary models based on template and statistical appearance models. Both of these models are unified via our novel combination strategy. In addition, we introduce an efficient update scheme to improve the performance of our approach. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach achieves superior performance at speeds that far exceed the frame-rate requirement on recent tracking benchmarks.

Despite Siamese trackers attracting much attention due to their scalability and efficiency in recent years, researchers have ignored the background appearance, which leads to their inapplicability in recognizing arbitrary target objects with various variations, especially in complex scenarios with background clutter and distractors. In this paper, we present a simple yet effective Siamese tracker, where the shifted windows multi-head self-attention is produced to learn the characteristics of a specific given target object for visual tracking. To validate the effectiveness of our proposed tracker, we use the Swin Transformer as the backbone network and introduced an auxiliary feature enhancement network. Extensive experimental results on two evaluation datasets demonstrate that the proposed tracker outperforms other baselines.
