This paper proposes a visual single-object tracker for underwater vehicles in marine organism grasping tasks. It addresses the issues of sample imbalance and exclusion of similar objects through hybrid training and motion-based post-processing. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves significant improvement in accuracy and stability compared to state-of-the-art methods on various benchmarks.
ABS T R A C T A visual single-object tracker is an indispensable component of underwater vehicles (UVs) in marine organism grasping tasks. Its accuracy and stability are imperative to guide the UVs to perform grasping behavior. Although single-object trackers show competitive performance in the challenge of underwater image degradation, there are still issues with sample imbalance and exclusion of similar objects that need to be addressed for application in marine organism grasping. This paper proposes Underwater OSTrack (UOSTrack), which consists of underwater image and open-air sequence hybrid training (UOHT), and motion-based post-processing (MBPP). The UOHT training paradigm is designed to train the sample-imbalanced underwater tracker so that the tracker is exposed to a great number of underwater domain training samples and learns the feature expressions. The MBPP paradigm is proposed to exclude similar objects. It uses the estimation box predicted with a Kalman filter and the candidate boxes in the response map to relocate the lost tracked object in the candidate area. UOSTrack achieves an average performance improvement of 4.41% and 7.98% maximum compared to state-of-the-art methods on various benchmarks, respectively. Field experiments have verified the accuracy and stability of our proposed UOSTrack for UVs in marine organism grasping tasks. More details can be found at https://github.com/Li YunfengLYF/UOSTrack.
