  Correlation Filter-based trackers have recently achieved excellent
performance, showing great robustness to challenging situations exhibiting
motion blur and illumination changes. However, since the model that they learn
depends strongly on the spatial layout of the tracked object, they are
notoriously sensitive to deformation. Models based on colour statistics have
complementary traits: they cope well with variation in shape, but suffer when
illumination is not consistent throughout a sequence. Moreover, colour
distributions alone can be insufficiently discriminative. In this paper, we
show that a simple tracker combining complementary cues in a ridge regression
framework can operate faster than 80 FPS and outperform not only all entries in
the popular VOT14 competition, but also recent and far more sophisticated
trackers according to multiple benchmarks.
