We propose a semi-automatic bounding box annotation method for visual object tracking by utilizing temporal information with a tracking-by-detection approach. For detection, we use an off-the-shelf object detector which is trained iteratively with the annotations generated by the proposed method, and we perform object detection on each frame independently. We employ Multiple Hypothesis Tracking (MHT) to exploit temporal information and to reduce the number of false-positives which makes it possible to use lower objectness thresholds for detection to increase recall. The tracklets formed by MHT are evaluated by human operators to enlarge the training set. This novel incremental learning approach helps to perform annotation iteratively. The experiments performed on AUTH Multidrone Dataset reveal that the annotation workload can be reduced up to 96% by the proposed approach. Resulting uav detection 2 annotations and our codes are publicly available at github.com/aybora/Semi-AutomaticVideo-Annotation-OGAM.

Semi-supervised generative guidance for zero-shot semantic segmentation Önem, Abdullah Cem; Cinbiş, Ramazan Gökberk; Department of Computer Engineering (2022-1) Collecting fully-annotated data to train deep networks for semantic image segmentation can be prohibitively costly due to difficulty of making pixel-by-pixel annotations. In this context, zero-shot learning based formulations relax the labelled data requirements by enabling the recognition of classes without training examples. Recent studies on zero-shot learning of semantic segmentation models, however, highlight the difficulty of the problem. This thesis proposes techniques towards improving zero-shot gen...
Visual object tracking using semi supervised convolutional filters Sevindik, Emir Can; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2020-10-15) Visual object tracking aims to find a single object position in a video frame, when a annotated bounding box is provided in the first frame. Correlation filters have always produced excellent results in terms of accuracy, while enjoying quite low computational complexity. The main property of correlation filter based trackers is to find a filter that can generate high values around the true target object location, whereas relatively low values for the locations away from the object. Recently, deep learn...
Real-Time Moving Target Search Undeger, Cagatay; Polat, Faruk (2007-11-23) In this paper, we propose a real-time moving target search algorithm for dynamic and partially observable environments, modeled as grid world. The proposed algorithm, Real-time Moving Target Evaluation Search (MTES), is able to detect the closed directions around the agent, and determine the best direction that avoids the nearby obstacles, leading to a moving target which is assumed to be escaping almost optimally. We compared our proposal with Moving Target Search (NITS) and observed a significant improvem...
Extended Target Tracking Using Polynomials With Applications to Road-Map Estimation Lundquist, Christian; Orguner, Umut; Gustafsson, Fredrik (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011-01-01) This paper presents an extended target tracking framework which uses polynomials in order to model extended objects in the scene of interest from imagery sensor data. State-space models are proposed for the extended objects which enables the use of Kalman filters in tracking. Different methodologies of designing measurement equations are investigated. A general target tracking algorithm that utilizes a specific data association method for the extended targets is presented. The overall algorithm must always ...
FISHER SELECTIVE SEARCH FOR OBJECT DETECTION BUZCU, ILKER; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2016-09-28) An enhancement to one of the existing visual object detection approaches is proposed for generating candidate windows that improves detection accuracy at no additional computational cost. Hypothesis windows for object detection are obtained based on Fisher Vector representations over initially obtained superpixels. In order to obtain new window hypotheses, hierarchical merging of superpixel regions are applied, depending upon improvements on some objectiveness measures with no additional cost due to additiv...
