Hyperspectral Video Tracker Based on Spectral Deviation Reduction and a Double Siamese Network

The advent of hyperspectral cameras has popularized the study of hyperspectral video trackers. Although hyperspectral images can better distinguish the targets compared to their RGB counterparts, the occlusion and rotation of the target affect the effectiveness of the target. For instance, occlusion...

description The advent of hyperspectral cameras has popularized the study of hyperspectral video trackers. Although hyperspectral images can better distinguish the targets compared to their RGB counterparts, the occlusion and rotation of the target affect the effectiveness of the target. For instance, occlusion obscures the target, reducing the tracking accuracy and even causing tracking failure. In this regard, this paper proposes a novel hyperspectral video tracker where the double Siamese network (D-Siam) forms the basis of the framework. Moreover, AlexNet serves as the backbone of D-Siam. The current study also adopts a novel spectral–deviation-based dimensionality reduction approach on the learned features to match the input requirements of the AlexNet. It should be noted that the proposed dimensionality reduction method increases the distinction between the target and background. The two response maps, namely the initial response map and the adjacent response map, obtained using the D-Siam network, were fused using an adaptive weight estimation strategy. Finally, a confidence judgment module is proposed to regulate the update for the whole framework. A comparative analysis of the proposed approach with state-of-the-art trackers and an extensive ablation study were conducted on a publicly available benchmark hyperspectral dataset. The results show that the proposed tracker outperforms the existing state-of-the-art approaches against most of the challenges.
