Feature Aggregation Networks Based on Dual Attention Capsules for Visual Object Tracking
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Tracking-by-detection algorithms have considerably enhanced tracking performance with the introduction of recent convolutional neural networks (CNNs). However, most trackers directly exploit standard scalar-output CNN features, which may not capture enough feature encoding information, instead of aggregated CNN features of vector-output form. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end feature aggregation capsule framework. First, based on the existing CNN network, we aggregate a certain number of similar position-aware CNN features into a capsule to model the feature similarity. The acquired vector-level feature capsules (rather than previous scalar-level pointwise features) are utilized for differentiation learning. We then propose a group attention module to better model the entity representation between different capsule groups thus optimizes total discriminative capability. Third, to reduce the prediction interference resulted by the side effect of dimension rising within capsules, we propose a penalty attention module. Such strategy could dynamically adjust values of neurons by estimating whether they are beneficial or harmful to tracking. Experimental results on five representative benchmarks (UAVDT, DTB70, UAV123, VOT2016 and VOT2018) demonstrate the excellent tracking performance of our dual attention based capsule tracker (DACapT). Specially, it exceeds the previous top tracker by 4.6%/1.9% in precision/success evaluations on UAVDT.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
