Being a powerful appearance model, compressive random projection derives effective Haar-like features from non-rotated 4-D-parameterized rectangles, thus supporting fast and reliable object tracking. In this paper, we show that such successful fast compressive tracking scheme can be further significantly improved by structural regularization and online data-driven sampling. Our major contribution is threefold. First, we find that superpixel-guided compressive projection can generate more discriminative features by sufficiently capturing rich local structural information of images. Second, we propose fast directional integration that enables low-cost extraction of feasible Haar-like features from arbitrarily rotated 5-D-parameterized rectangles to realize more accurate object localization. Third, beyond naive dense uniform sampling, we present two practical online data-driven sampling strategies to produce less yet more effective candidate and training samples for object detection and classifier updating, respectively. Extensive experiments on real-world benchmark data sets validate the superior performance, i.e., much better object localization ability and robustness, of the proposed approach over state-of-the-art trackers.
