SiamGAT

1. Environment setup

This code has been tested on Ubuntu 16.04, Python 3.5, Pytorch 1.2.0, CUDA 9.0. Please install related libraries before running this code:

pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Test

Download the pretrained model and put them into tools/snapshot directory.
From BaiduYun:

• otb_uav_model extract code: w1rs
• got10k_model extract code: n91w
• lasot_model extract code: dilp
• TrackingNet_model extract code: n2sm

From Google Driver:

• otb_uav_model
• got10k_model
• lasot_model

Download testing datasets and put them into test_dataset directory. Jsons of commonly used datasets can be downloaded from BaiduYun. If you want to test the tracker on a new dataset, please refer to pysot-toolkit to set test_dataset.

The tracking result can be download from BaiduYun (extract code: 0wod) or GoogleDriver for comparision.

python testTracker.py \    
        --config ../experiments/siamgat_googlenet_otb_uav/config.yaml \
	--dataset UAV123 \                                 # dataset_name
	--snapshot snapshot/otb_uav_model.pth              # tracker_name

The testing result will be saved in the results/dataset_name/tracker_name directory.

3. Train

Prepare training datasets

Download the datasets：

• VID
• YOUTUBEBB (code: v7s6)
• DET
• COCO
• GOT-10K
• LaSOT
• TrackingNet

Note: training_dataset/dataset_name/readme.md has listed detailed operations about how to generate training datasets.

Download pretrained backbones

Download pretrained backbones from link and put them into pretrained_models directory.

Train a model

To train the SiamGAT model, run train.py with the desired configs:

cd tools
python train.py

4. Evaluation

We provide the tracking results (extract code: 0wod) (results in Google driver) of GOT-10k, LaSOT, OTB100 and UAV123. If you want to evaluate the tracker on OTB100, UAV123 and LaSOT, please put those results into results directory. Evaluate GOT-10k on Server.
Get TrackingNet results from BaiduYun (extract code: iwlj), and evaluate it on Server.

python eval.py 	                          \
	--tracker_path ./results          \ # result path
	--dataset UAV123                  \ # dataset_name
	--tracker_prefix 'otb_uav_model'   # tracker_name

5. Acknowledgement

The code is implemented based on pysot and SiamCAR. We would like to express our sincere thanks to the contributors.
