  • Publication number: 20240046486
    Abstract: A method and apparatus with object tracking is provided. The method includes generating a mixed filter by fusing a short-term filter with a long-term filter; and performing object tracking on a current frame image based on the mixed filter. The short-term filter is dependent on a prediction of the current frame image in a video sequence, and the long-term filter is a previously generated long-term filter or is generated by optimizing the previously generated long-term filter based on an object template feature pool.
