Literature Review Title: Siamese Learning Visual Tracking: A Survey 
Chapter Title:  INTRODUCTION 
1. Abstract of Cited Paper (BIB001):  We describe a system that can track a hand in a sequence of video frames and recognize hand gestures in a user-independent manner. The system locates the hand in each video frame and determines if the hand is open or closed. The tracking system is able to track the hand to within ±10 pixels of its correct location in 99.7% of the frames from a test set containing video sequences from 18 different individuals captured in 18 different room environments. The gesture recognition network correctly determines if the hand being tracked is open or closed in 99.1% of the frames in this test set. The system has been designed to operate in real time with existing hardware. 
2. Abstract of Cited Paper (BIB002):  Most research efforts on image classification so far have been focused on medium-scale datasets, which are often defined as datasets that can fit into the memory of a desktop (typically 4G∼48G). There are two main reasons for the limited effort on large-scale image classification. First, until the emergence of ImageNet dataset, there was almost no publicly available large-scale benchmark data for image classification. This is mostly because class labels are expensive to obtain. Second, large-scale classification is hard because it poses more challenges than its medium-scale counterparts. A key challenge is how to achieve efficiency in both feature extraction and classifier training without compromising performance. This paper is to show how we address this challenge using ImageNet dataset as an example. For feature extraction, we develop a Hadoop scheme that performs feature extraction in parallel using hundreds of mappers. This allows us to extract fairly sophisticated features (with dimensions being hundreds of thousands) on 1.2 million images within one day. For SVM training, we develop a parallel averaging stochastic gradient descent (ASGD) algorithm for training one-against-all 1000-class SVM classifiers. The ASGD algorithm is capable of dealing with terabytes of training data and converges very fast–typically 5 epochs are sufficient. As a result, we achieve state-of-the-art performance on the ImageNet 1000-class classification, i.e., 52.9% in classification accuracy and 71.8% in top 5 hit rate. 
3. Abstract of Cited Paper (BIB003):  Adaptive tracking-by-detection methods are widely used in computer vision for tracking arbitrary objects. Current approaches treat the tracking problem as a classification task and use online learning techniques to update the object model. However, for these updates to happen one needs to convert the estimated object position into a set of labelled training examples, and it is not clear how best to perform this intermediate step. Furthermore, the objective for the classifier (label prediction) is not explicitly coupled to the objective for the tracker (accurate estimation of object position). In this paper, we present a framework for adaptive visual object tracking based on structured output prediction. By explicitly allowing the output space to express the needs of the tracker, we are able to avoid the need for an intermediate classification step. Our method uses a kernelized structured output support vector machine (SVM), which is learned online to provide adaptive tracking. To allow for real-time application, we introduce a budgeting mechanism which prevents the unbounded growth in the number of support vectors which would otherwise occur during tracking. Experimentally, we show that our algorithm is able to outperform state-of-the-art trackers on various benchmark videos. Additionally, we show that we can easily incorporate additional features and kernels into our framework, which results in increased performance. 
4. Abstract of Cited Paper (BIB004):  In this paper, we study the challenging problem of tracking the trajectory of a moving object in a video with possibly very complex background. In contrast to most existing trackers which only learn the appearance of the tracked object online, we take a different approach, inspired by recent advances in deep learning architectures, by putting more emphasis on the (unsupervised) feature learning problem. Specifically, by using auxiliary natural images, we train a stacked de-noising autoencoder offline to learn generic image features that are more robust against variations. This is then followed by knowledge transfer from offline training to the online tracking process. Online tracking involves a classification neural network which is constructed from the encoder part of the trained autoencoder as a feature extractor and an additional classification layer. Both the feature extractor and the classifier can be further tuned to adapt to appearance changes of the moving object. Comparison with the state-of-the-art trackers on some challenging benchmark video sequences shows that our deep learning tracker is more accurate while maintaining low computational cost with real-time performance when our MATLAB implementation of the tracker is used with a modest graphics processing unit (GPU). 
5. Abstract of Cited Paper (BIB005):  Machine learning is one of the fastest growing areas of computer science, with far-reaching applications. The aim of this textbook is to introduce machine learning, and the algorithmic paradigms it offers, in a principled way. The book provides an extensive theoretical account of the fundamental ideas underlying machine learning and the mathematical derivations that transform these principles into practical algorithms. Following a presentation of the basics of the field, the book covers a wide array of central topics that have not been addressed by previous textbooks. These include a discussion of the computational complexity of learning and the concepts of convexity and stability; important algorithmic paradigms including stochastic gradient descent, neural networks, and structured output learning; and emerging theoretical concepts such as the PAC-Bayes approach and compression-based bounds. Designed for an advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate course, the text makes the fundamentals and algorithms of machine learning accessible to students and non-expert readers in statistics, computer science, mathematics, and engineering. 
6. Abstract of Cited Paper (BIB006):  Robust scale estimation is a challenging problem in visual object tracking. Most existing methods fail to handle large scale variations in complex image sequences. This paper presents a novel approach for robust scale estimation in a tracking-by-detection framework. The proposed approach works by learning discriminative correlation filters based on a scale pyramid representation. We learn separate filters for translation and scale estimation, and show that this improves the performance compared to an exhaustive scale search. Our scale estimation approach is generic as it can be incorporated into any tracking method with no inherent scale estimation.Experiments are performed on 28 benchmark sequences with significant scale variations. Our results show that the proposed approach significantly improves the performance by 18.8 % in median distance precision compared to our baseline. Finally, we provide both quantitative and qualitative comparison of our approach with state-of-the-art trackers in literature. The proposed method is shown to outperform the best existing tracker by 16.6 % in median distance precision, while operating at real-time. 
7. Abstract of Cited Paper (BIB007):  Training Deep Neural Networks is complicated by the fact that the distribution of each layer's inputs changes during training, as the parameters of the previous layers change. This slows down the training by requiring lower learning rates and careful parameter initialization, and makes it notoriously hard to train models with saturating nonlinearities. We refer to this phenomenon as internal covariate shift, and address the problem by normalizing layer inputs. Our method draws its strength from making normalization a part of the model architecture and performing the normalization for each training mini-batch. Batch Normalization allows us to use much higher learning rates and be less careful about initialization, and in some cases eliminates the need for Dropout. Applied to a state-of-the-art image classification model, Batch Normalization achieves the same accuracy with 14 times fewer training steps, and beats the original model by a significant margin. Using an ensemble of batch-normalized networks, we improve upon the best published result on ImageNet classification: reaching 4.82% top-5 test error, exceeding the accuracy of human raters. 
8. Abstract of Cited Paper (BIB008):  In this paper we present a tracker, which is radically different from state-of-the-art trackers: we apply no model updating, no occlusion detection, no combination of trackers, no geometric matching, and still deliver state-of-theart tracking performance, as demonstrated on the popular online tracking benchmark (OTB) and six very challenging YouTube videos. The presented tracker simply matches the initial patch of the target in the first frame with candidates in a new frame and returns the most similar patch by a learned matching function. The strength of the matching function comes from being extensively trained generically, i.e., without any data of the target, using a Siamese deep neural network, which we design for tracking. Once learned, the matching function is used as is, without any adapting, to track previously unseen targets. It turns out that the learned matching function is so powerful that a simple tracker built upon it, coined Siamese INstance search Tracker, SINT, which only uses the original observation of the target from the first frame, suffices to reach state-of-theart performance. Further, we show the proposed tracker even allows for target re-identification after the target was absent for a complete video shot.

Literature Review:
M ACHINE learning as data-driven programming approach BIB006 has steadily improved the robustness and accuracy of vision techniques for the last decades, even more, machine learning has now finally shifted our conceptual view on the design of vision algorithms since the advent of Nvidia's CUDA platform in 2007 and since the availability of large manually labelled image datasets in 2010. State-of-the-art tells us to see vision algorithms as flexible reusable and for now neural learning processes, trained end-to-end on the applicationspecific data. The breakthrough in solving categorial object recognition (ILSVRC '10 [2] ) has motivated the field to re-apply the connectionism paradigm BIB001 ,  ,  to hard vision problems with in many cases outstanding success. For example, categorial object recognition has been pushed down on ILSVRC'10-14 from 28.2 % classification error (SVM classifier BIB003 ) to 4.82 % (CNN ensemble BIB008 ) which proved experimentally deep learning as ample solution to the problem. Since connectionism BIB002 grasped the visual tracking community after the AI winter again in 2013 BIB005 , results have been accordingly shown for the important problem of tracking. For example, Area under the Curve (AuC) performance on OTB-2013 and OPE has been improved by 31 % from 49.9 % (structured SVM BIB004 ) to 56.0 % in 2014 (discriminative correlation filter 1 BIB007 ) to 65.5 % (Siamese network BIB009 ; see Sec. 4.2.2) in 2016 with lots of room to improve. The remainder of this section introduces the state-of-the-art view on visual tracking and the significant step change of learning the tracking. Sec. 2 overviews other significant surveys covering the tracking literature of the last 15 years and works out as well as summarises in Sec. 3 the mentioned grand challenges of tracking. Sec. 4 focuses on very recent works using Siamese networks and deep offline learning which promise some impact on tracking performance in the coming years, a discussion which concludes the paper in Sec. 5.
