This C++ code implements a tracking pipeline of Scale Adaptive Mean-Shift method.

It is free for research use. If you find it useful or use it in your research, please cite the [1] paper.

The code depends on OpenCV 2.4+ library and is build via cmake toolchain.

Quick start guide

for linux: open terminal in the directory with the code

$ mkdir build; cd build; cmake .. ; make

This code compiles into two binaries demo and asms_vot

./asms_demo

• run live demo with visual output
• control : object is selected by mouse, click and drag mouse to select rectandle
  • ESC = quit
  • i = init new object

./asms_vot

• using VOT 2015 methodology (http://www.votchallenge.net/), is backward compatible with older ones
• INPUT : expecting two files, images.txt (list of sequence images with absolute path) and region.txt with initial bounding box in the first frame in format "top_left_x, top_left_y, width, height"
• OUTPUT : output.txt containing the bounding boxes in the same format as region.txt

./asms_trax

• using VOT2014+ trax protocol
• require trax library to be compiled with opencv support and installed. See trax instruction for compiling and installing.
