In this paper, we present LaSOT, a high-quality benchmark for Large-scale Single Object Tracking. LaSOT consists of 1,400 sequences with more than 3.5M frames in total. Each frame in these sequences is carefully and manually annotated with a bounding box, making LaSOT the largest, to the best of our knowledge, densely annotated tracking benchmark. The average video length of LaSOT is more than 2,500 frames, and each sequence comprises various challenges deriving from the wild where target objects may disappear and re-appear again in the view. By releasing LaSOT, we expect to provide the community with a large-scale dedicated benchmark with high quality for both the training of deep trackers and the veritable evaluation of tracking algorithms. Moreover, considering the close connections of visual appearance and natural language, we enrich LaSOT by providing additional language specification, aiming at encouraging the exploration of natural linguistic feature for tracking. A thorough experimental evaluation of 35 tracking algorithms on LaSOT is presented with detailed analysis, and the results demonstrate that there is still a big room for improvements.
A highly efficient approach of visible-light-driven
radical difluoromethylation
of isocyanides to access a wide variety of difluoromethylated phenanthridines
and isoquinolines is herein described. Electrophilic S-(difluoromethyl)diarylsulfonium salt proved to be a good difluoromethyl
radical precursor under photoredox catalysis. A broad range of isocyanides
were tolerated to furnish the corresponding difluoromethylated phenanthridines,
isoquinolines, furo[3,2-c]pyridine, and pyrido[3,4-b]indole in moderate to excellent yields under mild conditions.
A plausible mechanism was also proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
