Circulant matrix tracker expanded to other descriptors

This code combines Circulant Matrix Tracker by João F. Henriques (Github, Author's page) and Hardnet image descriptor (Github, Paper)

To use this code:

1. Get datasets. Comes with loader for MILTrack and VOT. Alternatively you can write your own loader.
2. Extract somewhere. Recommended structure is to put data into ./data/sets/* and create folder ./data/logs/ where output will be generated
3. Run ./circulant_matrix_tracker.py -i path_to_dataset

For more options run ./circulant_matrix_tracker.py -h

Descriptors

To change image descriptor to be used for tracking use -d|--descriptor option. Currently supported descriptors are:

• raw | gray - Describe image using raw grayscale pixels
• hardnet - Describe image using 128-channel pretrained HardNet++ descriptor

What is TODO/WIP so far:

• WIP: GPU computation. If enabled some things get offloaded to gpu, but this parts needs more optimizations work
• TODO: HOG Features descriptor
• TODO: Some metric to automatically measure and evaluate quality of tracking
• TODO: Rewrite everything to c++

Dependencies

• Python (used 2.7, might work with other versions too)
• Numpy
• Matplotlib
• Scipy
• Torch
• PyLab
