"Motion Prompt-based Tracking" (MPT) augments visual object trackers by integrating explicit long-term motion trajectories as prompts. This plug-and-play module enhances tracking robustness, achieving a 10.2% Expected Average Overlap (EAO) gain on VOT2018, while drastically reducing training time to 5 hours on 6GB GPU memory compared to 38 hours for baseline models.

Key insights

  • Explicit long-term motion trajectories can be effectively integrated as prompts to enhance visual tracking robustness, circumventing the need for computationally heavy sequential training.
  • A modular design, featuring a specialized motion encoder and a Transformer-based fusion decoder with an adaptive weighting mechanism, allows for flexible and efficient integration of temporal and visual information.
  • By freezing baseline tracker parameters and training only the new MPT components, the proposed prompt learning strategy achieves superior or comparable performance with substantially reduced training time and memory footprint.
