This MATLAB code implements the tracking pipeline based on the SCF, MSCF, KSCF and SKSCF.
SCF: support correlation filter
MSCF: multi-channel support correlaiton filter
KSCF: kernel support correlation filter
SKSCF: scale-adaptive correlation filter

The initializaiton of filter has a great influence on the tracking performance.
Thus we provide 2 version of the code: the one-iteration version and the optimal version.
One-iteration version is the simplified version by using the initialization of filter with 'params.maxiter = 1' in makeParams.m;
and the optimal version is the one with the optimal number of iterations when learning the filter. 
The optimal iterations range from 5 to 10 in 'MSCF.m', 'KSCF.m' and 'SKSCF.m'.

Note：
SCF is the single-channel model, whose implementation is inlcuded in the MSCF with the 'feature_type' variable to 'gray'.

__________
Quickstart

1. Extract code somewhere.

2. The tracker is available for the 50 videos of the Visual Tracking
   Benchmark [3]. You need to put all videos under the default location 'base_path' in 'run.m'.

3. The videos can be downloaded from http://cvlab.hanyang.ac.kr/tracker_benchmark/datasets.html.

4. Execute 'run' without parameters to test on it. For SCF, do not forget to change the 'feature_type' variable to 'gray'.


Note: The tracker uses the 'fhog'/'gradientMex' functions from Piotr's Toolbox.
Some pre-compiled MEX files are provided for convenience. If they do not work for your
system, just get the toolbox from http://vision.ucsd.edu/~pdollar/toolbox/doc/index.html
