The Near-air Infrared Object Tracking Dataset

Abstract

In recent years, the tracking methods for near-air infrared objects have been developed rapidly, but there is no dataset for the evaluation of these methods. In view of this, a series of near-air infrared sequences was collected by the aircraft, then the dataset for near-air infrared object tracking was accomplished. The dataset is aimed at various challenges of the short-term single-object tracking, and it followed the VOT-TIR2015.
