Video Analyst

This is the implementation of a series of basic algorithms which is useful for video understanding, including Single Object Tracking (SOT), Video Object Segmentation (VOS), etc.

Current implementation list:

SOT
- SiamFC++: Towards Robust and Accurate Visual Tracking with Target Estimation Guidelines [demo]

Example SiamFC++ outputs.

VOS
- State-Aware Tracker for Real-Time Video Object Segmentation

Example SAT outputs.

SOT Quick start

Setup

Please refer to SOT_SETUP.md

Demo

SOT video demo

# demo with web camera
python3 ./demo/main/video/sot_video.py --config 'experiments/siamfcpp/test/vot/siamfcpp_alexnet.yaml' --device cuda --video "webcam" 

# demo with video file, and dump result into video file (optional)
python3 ./demo/main/video/sot_video.py --config 'experiments/siamfcpp/test/vot/siamfcpp_alexnet.yaml' --device cuda --video $video_dir/demo.mp4 --output $dump_path/result.mp4

# demo with extracted image files, and dump result into image files (optional)
python3 ./demo/main/video/sot_video.py --config 'experiments/siamfcpp/test/vot/siamfcpp_alexnet.yaml' --device cuda --video $video_dir/*.jpg --output $dump_dir
