Abstract
Most of the visual tracking algorithms are very sensitive to the initialized bounding-box of the tracking object, while, how to obtain a precise bounding-box in the first frame needs further research. In this paper, we propose an automatic algorithm to refine the references of the tracking object after a roughly selected bounding-box in the first frame. Based on the input rough location and scale information, the proposed algorithm exploits the region merger algorithm based on maximal similarity to segment the superpixel regions into foreground or background. In order to improve the segmentation effect, a feature clustering strategy is exploited to obtain reliable foreground label and background label and color histogram in HSI space is exploited to describe the superpixel feature. The final refinement bounding-box is the minimal enclosing rectangle of the foreground region. Extensive experiments are performed and the results indicate that the proposed algorithm can reliably refine the initial bounding-box relying only on the first frame information and improve the robustness of the tracking algorithms distinctively.
