Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental Using the largest open benchmark for visual tracking, we empirically compare two ensemble methods constructed from five state-of-the-art trackers with the individual trackers. The promising experimental results provide empirical evidence for our ensemble approach to get the best of all worlds . also 6. Experiments To facilitate objective comparison, we use a recently released benchmark (Wu et al., 2013) in our experiments.

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 Conditional Particle Filter Algorithm
Open Source Code Yes The implementation of EBT and SC-EBT can be found on the project page: http://winsty.net/ ebt.html.
Open Datasets Yes To facilitate objective comparison, we use a recently released benchmark (Wu et al., 2013) in our experiments. It is currently the largest open benchmark for visual tracking, which comprises 51 video sequences covering 11 challenging aspects of visual tracking.
Dataset Splits No The paper references a benchmark dataset (Wu et al., 2013) but does not specify how the dataset was partitioned into explicit training, validation, and test splits for the experiments described in this paper.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific details about the hardware used for running experiments, such as CPU/GPU models, memory, or cloud instance types.
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions that a web service facilitates communication between trackers implemented in different languages and operating systems, and lists specific trackers used (ASLA, Struck, DLT, CSK, LSST), but it does not provide specific version numbers for any software components or libraries.
Experiment Setup Yes We set M = 50, N = 400 for the particle filter, k = 0.1, α = 2, a = 0.1 for the model. For failure detection, we set p = 10 and θ = 0.8T and 0.9T in EBT and SC-EBT, respectively. For the Gaussian transition probability distributions for horizontal translation, vertical translation, scale and aspect ratio, their standard deviations are 4, 4, 0.01, and 0.001, respectively.
