In this letter, we show that the challenging model adaptation task in visual object tracking can be handled by simply manipulating pixels of the template image in Siamese networks. For a target that is not included in the offline training set, a slight modification of the template image pixels will improve the prediction result of the offline trained Siamese network. The popular adversarial example generation methods can be used to perform template pixel manipulation for model adaptation. Different from current template update methods, which aim to combine the target features from previous frames, we focus on the initial adaptation using target ground-truth in the first frame. Our model adaptation method is pluggable, in the sense that it does not alter the overall architecture of its base tracker. To our knowledge, this work is the first attempt to directly manipulating template pixels for model adaptation in Siamese-based trackers. Extensive experiments on recent benchmarks demonstrate that our method achieves better performance than some other state-of-the-art trackers.
