LSOTB-TIR: A Large-Scale High-Diversity Thermal Infrared Object Tracking Benchmark

This toolkit is used to evaluate general thermal infrared (TIR) trackers on the TIR object tracking benchmark, LSOTB-TIR, which consists of a large-scale training dataset and an evaluation dataset with a total of 1,400 TIR image sequences and more than 600K frames. To evaluate a TIR tracker on different attributes, we define 4 scenario attributes and 12 challenge attributes in the evaluation dataset. By releasing LSOTB-TIR, we encourage the community to develop deep learning based TIR trackers and evaluate them fairly and comprehensively. Paper, Supplementary materials
