Abstract
An object tracking device includes a short-term processing portion and a long short-term processing portion that are implemented by circuitry and work in a collaborative manner to track an object. The short-term processing portion includes a filter that tracks the object based on short-term memory and spatiotemporal consistency. The long short-term processing portion performs key-point matching-tracking and estimation based on a key-point database in order to track the object. A controller determines an output of the object tracking device based on the processing conducted by the short-term and long short-term processing portions of the tracking device, respectively.
