Contains No distractors videos and With distractors videos
This is the unique attribute of our dataset that introduces a very specific challenge to the tracking paradigm. People, including the target and non-target persons (distractors), wear the same garment during the whole recording.
This feature introduces a situation in which the background is highly similar to the target appearance. The background of the environment is same as target appearance.
Static obstacles are objects placed in the scene, such as boxes and banners, which can hide the target person partially or fully when he is walking during the recording.
Human body is deformable on its own, however to include different poses we have explicitly added poses like running, stretching, and squatting in the videos.
The video sequences also has the illumination intensity of the environment changed from light to dark during tracking.
Occlusion is caused by the integration of obstacles in the scene or by the presence of other people partially cover the appearance of the target.
The blur effect has been added as a nuisance factor in the video to assess the robustness of the tracking.
This situation corresponds to an attribute when the target person leaves the frame or is not visible in the frame. The availability of the target person cannot be known/confirmed given the information in the frame.
