Recently, the compressive tracking (CT) method has attracted much attention due to its high efficiency, but it cannot well deal with the large scale target appearance variations due to its data-independent random projection matrix that results in less discriminative features. To address this issue, in this paper, we propose an adaptive CT approach, which selects the most discriminative features to design an effective appearance model. Our method significantly improves CT in three aspects. First, the most discriminative features are selected via an online vector boosting method. Second, the object representation is updated in an effective online manner, which preserves the stable features while filtering out the noisy ones. Furthermore, a simple and effective trajectory rectification approach is adopted that can make the estimated location more accurate. Finally, a multiple scale adaptation mechanism is explored to estimate object size, which helps to relieve interference from background information. Extensive experiments on the CVPR2013 tracking benchmark and the VOT2014 challenges demonstrate the superior performance of our method.
