This demo is only used for test our algorithm for adapting deep visible trackers to thermal infrared domain. Here we adopt HCF as the base tracker.

1.Clone the repository

$ git clone https://github.com/xfmao/Adapted_TIRtracking.git

2.Download MatConvNet and extract it under the directory .\external\matconvnet.

Then precompile it by

> cd <MatConvNet>
> addpath matlab
> vl_compilenn

If you want to run the code with GPU, make sure that you have installed CUDA and cuDNN. And compile MatConvNet with cuDNN support.(refer to http://www.vlfeat.org/matconvnet/install/)

3.Download the VGG-Net-19 model and put it in .\model\.

4.Run demo.m.

HCF without finetuning:

HCF after finetuning:
