This code has been tested on Ubuntu 16.04, Python 3.5, Pytorch 1.2.0, CUDA 9.0. Please install related libraries before running this code:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Download testing datasets and put them into test_dataset directory. Jsons of commonly used datasets can be downloaded from BaiduYun. If you want to test the tracker on a new dataset, please refer to pysot-toolkit to set test_dataset.

python testTracker.py \    
        --config ../experiments/siamgat_googlenet_ct_alldataset/config.yaml \ # siamgat_xx_xx for SiamGAT, siamgat_ct_xx_xx for SiamGAT*
	--dataset OTB100 \                                 # dataset_name: GOT-10k, LaSOT, TrackingNet, OTB100, UAV123
	--snapshot snapshot/otb_uav_model.pth              # tracker_name

The testing result will be saved in the results/dataset_name/tracker_name directory.

Download the datasets：

• VID
• YOUTUBEBB (code: v7s6)
• DET
• COCO
• GOT-10K
• LaSOT
• TrackingNet

Note: training_dataset/dataset_name/readme.md has listed detailed operations about how to generate training datasets.

Download pretrained backbones from link and put them into pretrained_models directory.

To train the SiamGAT model, run train.py with the desired configs:

cd tools
python train.py
	--cfg ../experiments/siamgat_googlenet/config.yaml # siamgat_xx_xx for SiamGAT, siamgat_ct_xx_xx for SiamGAT*

We provide tracking results for comparison:

• SiamGAT: BaiduYun (extract code: 8nox) or GoogleDriver.
• SiamGAT*: BaiduYun (extract code: kjym) or GoogleDriver.

If you want to evaluate the tracker on OTB100, UAV123 and LaSOT, please put those results into results directory and then run eval.py . Evaluate GOT-10k on Server. Evaluate TrackingNet on Server.

python eval.py 	                          \
	--tracker_path ./results          \ # result path
	--dataset OTB100                  \ # dataset_name
	--tracker_prefix 'otb_uav_model'   # tracker_name

The code is implemented based on pysot and SiamCAR. We would like to express our sincere thanks to the contributors.
