Abstract: As a crucial problem in computer vision, visual tracking has been studied over decades with a wide sprectrum of applications. In this talk, we will first summarize research conducted in our group on visual tracking with lessens learned and ideas moviated. The, we will introduce in details our recent work of tracking algorithms on single-target tracking, plane object tracking, and multi-target tracking. We will also present our recent work on tracking benchmarks and evaluations.
