Discriminative correlation filters (DCF) have recently shown excellent performance in visual object tracking area. In this paper we summarize the methods of updating model filter from discriminative correlation filter (DCF) based tracking algorithms and analyzes similarities and differences among these methods. We deduce the relationship among updating coefficient in high dimension (kernel trick), updating filter in frequency domain and updating filter in spatial domain, and analyze the difference among these different ways. We also analyze the difference between the updating filter directly and updating filter’s numerator (object response power) with updating filter’s denominator (filter’s power). The experiments about comparing different updating methods and visualizing the template filters are used to prove our derivation.

Discriminative correlation filter (DCF) based trackers have recently achieved excellent performance with great computational efficiency. However, DCF based trackers suffer boundary effects, which result in the unstable performance in challenging situations exhibiting fast motion. In this paper, we propose a novel method to mitigate this side-effect in DCF based trackers. We change the search area according to the prediction of target motion. When the object moves fast, broad search area could alleviate boundary effects and reserve the probability of locating object. When the object moves slowly, narrow search area could prevent effect of useless background information and improve computational efficiency to attain real-time performance. This strategy can impressively soothe boundary effects in situations exhibiting fast motion and motion blur, and it can be used in almost all DCF based trackers. The experiments on OTB benchmark show that the proposed framework improves the performance compared with the baseline trackers.
