News

[Jan 01, 2024]

[Feb 10, 2023]

  • 🔥🔥🔥 Code and models for MixViT and MixViT-ConvMAE are available now ! Thank Tianhui Song for helping us clean up the code.

[Feb 8, 2023]

  • Extended version has been available at https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.02814. In particular, the extented MixViT-L(ConvMAE) achieves AUC score of 73.3% on LaSOT. Besides, we design a new TrackMAE pre-training method for tracking. Code and models will be updated soon.

[Oct 26, 2022]

  • MixFormerL (based on MixViT-L) rank 1/41 on VOT2022-STb public dataset.
  • The VOT2022-RGBD and VOT2022-D winners of MixForRGBD and MixForD, implemented by Lai Simiao, are constructed upon our MixFormer.
  • The VOT2022-STs winner of MS-AOT employs MixFormer as a part of the tracker. The VOT2022-STb winner of APMT_MR employs the SPM proposed in MixFormer to select dynamic templates.

[Mar 29, 2022]

  • Our paper is selected for an oral presentation.

[Mar 21, 2022]

  • MixFormer is accepted to CVPR2022.
  • We release Code, models and raw results.

Highlights

✨ New transformer tracking framework

MixFormer is composed of a target-search mixed attention (MAM) based backbone and a simple corner head, yielding a compact tracking pipeline without an explicit integration module.

✨ End-to-end, post-processing-free

Mixformer is an end-to-end tracking framework without post-processing.

✨ Strong performance

Install the environment

Use the Anaconda

conda create -n mixformer python=3.6
conda activate mixformer
bash install_pytorch17.sh

Data Preparation

Put the tracking datasets in ./data. It should look like:

${MixFormer_ROOT}
 -- data
     -- lasot
         |-- airplane
         |-- basketball
         |-- bear
         ...
     -- got10k
         |-- test
         |-- train
         |-- val
     -- coco
         |-- annotations
         |-- train2017
     -- trackingnet
         |-- TRAIN_0
         |-- TRAIN_1
         ...
         |-- TRAIN_11
         |-- TEST

Set project paths

Run the following command to set paths for this project

python tracking/create_default_local_file.py --workspace_dir . --data_dir ./data --save_dir .

After running this command, you can also modify paths by editing these two files

lib/train/admin/local.py  # paths about training
lib/test/evaluation/local.py  # paths about testing

Train MixFormer

Training with multiple GPUs using DDP. More details of other training settings can be found at tracking/train_mixformer_[cvt/vit/convmae].sh for different backbone respectively.

# MixFormer with CVT backbone
bash tracking/train_mixformer_cvt.sh

# MixFormer with ViT backbone
bash tracking/train_mixformer_vit.sh

# MixFormer with ConvMAE backbone
bash tracking/train_mixformer_convmae.sh

Test and evaluate MixFormer on benchmarks

  • LaSOT/GOT10k-test/TrackingNet/OTB100/UAV123. More details of test settings can be found at tracking/test_mixformer_[cvt/vit/convmae].sh
bash tracking/test_mixformer_cvt.sh
bash tracking/test_mixformer_vit.sh
bash tracking/test_mixformer_convmae.sh
  • VOT2020
    Before evaluating "MixFormer+AR" on VOT2020, please install some extra packages following external/AR/README.md. Also, the VOT toolkit is required to evaluate our tracker. To download and instal VOT toolkit, you can follow this tutorial. For convenience, you can use our example workspaces of VOT toolkit under external/vot20/ by setting trackers.ini.
cd external/vot20/<workspace_dir>
vot evaluate --workspace . MixFormerPython
# generating analysis results
vot analysis --workspace . --nocache

Run MixFormer on your own video

bash tracking/run_video_demo.sh

Compute FLOPs/Params and test speed
