SiamTPN

Introduction

This is the official implementation of the SiamTPN (WACV2022). The tracker intergrates pyramid feature network and transformer into Siamese network, achieving state-of-the-art performance (better than DiMP) while runing 30 FPS on a single CPU. The tracker optimized with ONXX and openvino could run at 45 FPS on cpu end, leading promising performance when deploying on drones for tracking.

Training

prepare data

change the path in lib/train/admin/local.py to your data location

# Distributed training withh 4 nodes 
python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node 4 tools/run_training.py --config shufflenet_l345_192

# single gpu training for test purpose
python tools/run_training.py --config shufflenet_l345_192

Test and evaluate SiamTPN

prepare data

change the path in lib/test/evaluation/local.py to your data location

running on cpu

# Download the pretrain model and put it under ./results/checkpoints/train/SiamTPN/ folder

python tools/test.py siamtpn shufflenet_l345_192 --dataset_name got10k_val --debug 1 --cpu 1 --epoch 100 --sequence GOT-10k_Val_000001

running on cpu with onnx optimized

The debug mode will show tracking results, more details refer to tools/test.py

Currently, onnx only support cpu version

First, you need to install onxx and onxxruningtime:

pip install onxx
# for onxx runining time, download the openvino version from release [page](https://github.com/intel/onnxruntime/releases/tag/v3.1) and install with
pip install onnxruntime_openvino-1.9.0-cp37-cp37m-linux_x86_64.whl

# please refer the [page](https://github.com/intel/onnxruntime/releases/tag/v3.1) for openvino installation details.

# Download the converted onnx model and put it under ./results/onnx/ folder
# or conver your own model with 
python tools/onnx_search.py
python tools/onnx_template.py

python tools/test.py siamtpn_onnx shufflenet_l345_192 --dataset_name got10k_val --debug 1 --cpu 1 --epoch 100 --sequence GOT-10k_Val_000001
