      Note: Bold fonts are ranked top-3. '-' means the corresponding results are not given in the original literature. 'TYPE' is the classification basis delineated in this paper, where 'A' indicates the Anchor (Anchor-based 'T '/Anchor-free 'F'), 'S' indicates the Stage number (One-stage '1'/Two-stages '2 '), and 'others' indicates other classes.

      Table 2. Comparison of advantages and disadvantages of siamese trackers with different detection techniques

      TaxonomyAdvantagelimitation
      State estimation Anchor-basedFirst Introducing RPN detection technology; Discarding multi-scale search, and can predict bbox with arbitrary aspect ratio Relying on prior knowledge; Incapable of rectifying weak prediction
      Anchor-freeFewer parameters and faster speed; Correcting weak predictions caused by deformation and fast movement Requiring additional constraints (such as location quality) due to the lack of prior knowledge
      Stage number One-stageFast speed;; Easy to add additional modules (e.g. model updates) Weak discriminability for semantic interference
      Two-stageBetter balance of robustness and discriminabilityComplex structure and slow speed
      OthersIOUNet-based predictionMore accurate evaluation of location quality-
      Detector transform trackerNarrowing the differences between detection and tracking with a common pattern to solve both problems-
