Instruction for LADCF Tracker for VOT2018:

Learning Adaptive Discriminative Correlation Filter on Low-dimensional Manifold (LADCF) utilises adaptive spatial regularizer to train low-dimensional discriminative correlation filters. We follow a single-frame learning and updating strategy: the filters are learned after tracking stage and then updated using a fixed rate [1]. We use HOG [2], CN [3], and ResNet-50 [4] as our features. For deep features, we augment the training data using blur (2 gaussian filters), rotation (-30, -20, -10, 10, 20, 30) and flip (horizontal) [5]. Code modules refer to ECO [6] in feature extraction.
