Abstract: Hyperspectral video target tracking is generally challenging when the scale of the target varies. In this paper, a novel algorithm is proposed to address the challenges prevalent in the existing hyperspectral video target tracking approaches. The proposed approach employs deep features along with spectral matching reduction and adaptive-scale 3D hog features to track the objects even when the scale is varying. Spectral matching reduction is adopted to estimate the spectral curve of the selected target region using a weighted combination of the global and local spectral curves. In addition to the deep features, adaptive-scale 3D hog features are extracted using cube-level features at three different scales. The four weak response maps thus obtained are then combined using adaptive weights to yield a strong response map. Finally, the region proposal module is utilized to estimate the target box. The proposed strategies make the approach robust against scale variations of the target. A comparative study on different hyperspectral video sequences illustrate the superior performance of the proposed algorithm as compared to the state-of-the-art approaches.
