Tracking Small Birds by Detection Candidate Region Filtering and Detection History-aware Association
<|reference_start|>Tracking Small Birds by Detection Candidate Region Filtering and Detection History-aware Association: This paper focuses on tracking birds that appear small in a panoramic video. When the size of the tracked object is small in the image (small object tracking) and move quickly, object detection and association suffers. To address these problems, we propose Adaptive Slicing Aided Hyper Inference (Adaptive SAHI), which reduces the candidate regions to apply detection, and Detection History-aware Similarity Criterion (DHSC), which accurately associates objects in consecutive frames based on the detection history. Experiments on the NUBird2022 dataset verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method by showing improvements in both accuracy and speed.<|reference_end|>
