Abstract：Most of the current object tracking algorithms will fail when sudden appearance changes and serious occlusions occur.Inspired by the mechanism of human brain three-stage memory model,this paper develops a spinning tri-layer-circle memory model(STLC-MM) and applies it for template updating during object tracking.Three memory spaces are defined to store and process the object templates used during tracking.With three circle memory spaces spinning,templates in the three memory spaces are updated by imitating the cognitive process of memorization,recall,and forgetting.Finally,in order to verify the effect of the proposed model,STLC-MM is incorporated into a particle filter (PF) framework.Experimental results show that the proposed method is more robust to sudden appearance changes and serious occlusions.
