About LaSOT

Large-scale Single Object Tracking (LaSOT) aims to provide a dedicated platform for training data-hungry deep trackers as well as assessing long-term tracking performance. LaSOT is featured in

  • Large-scale: 1,550 sequences with more 3.87 millions frames
  • High-quality: Manual annotation with careful inspection in each frame
  • Category balance: 85 categories with each containing twenty (70 classes) or ten (15 classes) sequences
  • Long-term tracking: An average video length of around 2,500 frames (i.e., 83 seconds)
  • Comprehensive labeling: Providing both visual and lingual annotation for each sequence
  • Flexible Evaluation Protocol: Evaluation under three different protocols: no constraint, full-overlap and one-shot

Update

  • 2020-09: Our LaSOT has been accepted to International Journal of Computer Vision (IJCV).
  • 2020-09: A new subset with 15 new categories consisting of 150 challenging videos released. Check the dataset and paper.
