摘要	This paper presents a robust Joint Discriminative appearance model based Tracking method using online random forests and mid-level feature (superpixels). To achieve superpixelwise discriminative ability, we propose a joint appearance model that consists of two random forest based models, i.e., the Background-Target discriminative Model (BTM) and Distractor- Target discriminative Model (DTM). More specifically, the BTM effectively learns discriminative information between the target object and background. In contrast, the DTM is used to suppress distracting superpixels which significantly improves the tracker’s robustness and alleviates the drifting problem. A novel online random forest regression algorithm is proposed to build the two models. The BTM and DTM are linearly combined into a joint model to compute a confidence map. Tracking results are estimated using the confidence map, where the position and scale of the target are estimated orderly. Furthermore, we design a model updating strategy to adapt the appearance changes over time by discarding degraded trees of the BTM and DTM and initializing new trees as replacements. We test the proposed tracking method on two large tracking benchmarks, the CVPR2013 tracking benchmark and VOT2014 tracking challenge. Experimental results show that the tracker runs at real-time speed and achieves favorable tracking performance compared with the state-of-the-art methods. The results also suggest that the DTM improves tracking performance significantly and plays an important role in robust tracking.
