Object tracking is an important research branch of computer vision, which has attracted great attention and been widely applied, such as surveillance of unmanned plane, automatic driving, inspection of pedestrians and cars, and so on. For real-time plane tracking in complex scene in practical project, Prof. Zhang Jianlin's group from IOE，CAS deeply delved into the research of multi-domain networks owing to its excellent accuracy, and proposed a concise object tracking framework, i.e. fast deep learning tracking networks, which efficiently solved the problems object pose variant, complex background clutters and so on through multi-layers’ features to enhance the object representation.
