CoreMon: CoreSet Selection for Training Robust Monkey Trackers in Real-World Environments
Introduction
The field of object tracking in real-world environments poses unique challenges, especially when tracking agile and unpredictable subjects like monkeys. Successful training of accurate and robust monkey trackers relies on selecting an optimal subset of data from large-scale tracking datasets. This thesis proposal aims to develop CoreMon, an efficient coreset selection approach specifically designed for training monkey trackers in real-world environments.
Objective
The primary objective of this research is to design and implement a coreset selection method tailored for training monkey trackers. The proposed approach aims to optimize the data set selection process, ensuring efficient training while maintaining the ability to generalize well in complex real-world scenarios involving monkeys.
