ABSTRACT
For underwater videos, the performance of object tracking is greatly affected by illumination changes, background disturbances and occlusion. Hence, there is a need to have a robust function that computes image similarity, to accurately track the moving object. In this work, a hybrid model that incorporates the Kalman Filter, a Siamese neural network and a miniature neural network has been developed for object tracking. It was observed that the usage of the Siamese network to compute image similarity significantly improved the robustness of the tracker. Although the model was developed for underwater videos, it was found that it performs well for both underwater and human surveillance videos. A metric has been defined for analyzing detections-to-tracks mapping accuracy. Tracking results have been analyzed using Multiple Object Tracking Accuracy (MOTA) and Multiple Object Tracking Precision (MOTP)metrics.
