With the advantages of simple model structure and performance-speed balance, the single object tracking (SOT) model based on a Transformer has become a hot topic in the current object tracking field. However, the tracking errors caused by the target leaving the shot, namely the target out-of-view, are more likely to occur in videos than we imagine. To address this issue, we proposed a target re-identification method for SOT called TRTrack. First, we built a bipartite matching model of candidate tracklets and neighbor tracklets optimized by the Hopcroft–Karp algorithm, which is used for preliminary tracking and judging the target leaves the shot. It achieves 76.3% mAO on the tracking benchmark Generic Object Tracking-10k (GOT-10k). Then, we introduced the alpha-IoU loss function in YOLOv5-DeepSORT to detect the shot boundary objects and attained 38.62% mAP75:95 on Microsoft Common Objects in Context 2017 (MS COCO 2017). Eventually, we designed a backtracking identification module in TRTrack to re-identify the target. Experimental results confirmed the effectiveness of our method, which is superior to most of the state-of-the-art models.
