Introduction

Siamese networks have drawn great attention in visual tracking because of their balanced accuracy and speed. However, the backbone network utilized in these trackers is still the classical AlexNet, which does not fully take advantage of the capability of modern deep neural networks.

Our proposals improve the performances of fully convolutional siamese trackers by,

introducing CIR and CIR-D units to unveil the power of deeper and wider networks like ResNet and Inceptipon;
designing backbone networks according to the analysis on internal network factors (e.g. receptive field, stride, output feature size), which affect tracking performances.

Some reproduced results listed above are slightly better than the ones in the paper.
Recently we found that training on GOT10K dataset can achieve better performance for SiamFC. So we provide the results being trained on GOT10K.
