EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS: The two .zip files are the results of OTB-2015 OPE and VOT2016 baseline. Please note that VOT2016 is run only for one repetition since the tracker is deterministic. The detailed information is available in [1] that details the feature learning framework CFCF and how it is integrated to C-COT [2]. For fair comparisons, the only changing feature type (w.r.t. C-COT) is the learned CFCF features which are extracted from the fine-tuned VGG-M-2048 network in [3]. Similarly, the additional features are utilized for VOT2016 experiments as in C-COT and the VOT2016 settings of C-COT can be found in https://github.com/martin-danelljan/Continuous-ConvOp.
VOT2017 Integration: In order to integrate CFCF tracker and its configuration for VOT2017, please use the CFCF_Tracker.rar file and follow the instructions in README_ForVOT2017Tracker.txt file. This part of the code is already available in VOT2017 Webpage: http://www.votchallenge.net/vot2017/trackers.html
Training a fully-CNN model: In order to train a fully-CNN model, please use the folder LEARN_CFCF folder and follow the instructions in FEATURE_LEARNING.txt file in this folder.
