Overview

A large, high-diversity, one-shot database for generic object tracking in the wild

Key Features

• Large-Scale
  The dataset contains more than 10,000 video segments of real-world moving objects and over 1.5 million manually labeled bounding boxes.
• Generic Classes
  The dataset is backboned by WordNet and it covers a majority of 560+ classes of real-world moving objects and 80+ classes of motion patterns.
• One-Shot
  The dataset encourages the development of generic purposed trackers by following the one-shot rule that object classes between train and test sets are zero-overlapped.
• Unified Training Data
  The fair comparison of deep trackers is ensured with the protocol that all approaches are using the same training data provided by the dataset.
• Extra Labeling
  The dataset provides extra labels including object visible ratios and motion classes as additional supervision for handling specific challenges.
• Efficient Evaluation
  The test set embodies 84 object classes and 32 motion classes with only 180 video segments, allowing for efficient evaluation.

Data Annotation

Each sequence folder contains 4 annotation files and 1 meta file. A brief description of these files follows (let N denotes sequence length):

• groundtruth.txt -- An N×4 matrix with each line representing object location [xmin, ymin, width, height] in one frame.
• cover.label -- An N×1 array representing object visible ratios, with levels ranging from 0~8.
• absense.label -- An binary N×1 array indicating whether an object is absent or present in each frame.
• cut_by_image.label -- An binary N×1 array indicating whether an object is cut by image in each frame.
• meta_info.ini -- Meta information about the sequence, including object and motion classes, video URL and more.

Values 0~8 in file cover.label correspond to ranges of object visible ratios: 0%, (0%, 15%], (15%~30%], (30%, 45%], (45%, 60%], (60%, 75%], (75%, 90%], (90%, 100%) and 100% respectively.
