Enhanced Transformer-Based Tracking for Skiing Events: Overcoming Multi-Camera Challenges, Scale Variations and Rapid Motion -- SkiTB Visual Tracking Challenge 2025

원문 초록

Accurate skier tracking is essential for performance analysis, injury prevention, and optimizing training strategies in alpine sports. Traditional tracking methods often struggle with occlusions, dynamic movements, and varying environmental conditions, limiting their effectiveness. In this work, we used STARK (Spatio-Temporal Transformer Network for Visual Tracking), a transformer-based model, to track skiers. We adapted STARK to address domain-specific challenges such as camera movements, camera changes, occlusions, etc. by optimizing the model's architecture and hyperparameters to better suit the dataset.
