 Abstract: In this study, we address the problem of online RGB-D tracking which confronted with various challenges caused by deformation, occlusion, background clutter, and abrupt motion. Various trackers have different strengths and weaknesses, and thus a single tracker can merely perform well in specific scenarios. We propose a 3D tracker-level fusion algorithm (TLF3D) which enhances the strengths of different trackers and suppresses their weaknesses to achieve robust tracking performance in various scenarios. The fusion result is generated from outputs of base trackers by optimizing an energy function considering both the 3D cube attraction and 3D trajectory smoothness. In addition, three complementary base RGB-D trackers with intrinsically different tracking components are proposed for the fusion algorithm. We perform extensive experiments on a large-scale RGB-D benchmark dataset. The evaluation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed fusion algorithm and the superior performance of the proposed TLF3D tracker against state-of-the-art RGB-D trackers.
