Daniela Lopez de Luise The VOT challenges provide the tracking community with a precisely defined and repeatable way of comparing short-term trackers and long-term trackers as well as a common platform for discussing the evaluation and advancements made in the field of visual tracking. Following eight highly successful VOT challenges, the 9th Visual Object Tracking Challenge VOT2021 and workshop will be held in conjunction with ICCV 2021.
