28 Tracking algorithm Use a search image centered at the previous position of the target. Only search for the object within a region of approximately four times its previous size. A cosine window is added to the score map to penalize large displacements. The position of the maximum score relative to the center of the score map, multiplied by the stride of the network, gives the displacement of the target from frame to frame.
