This dissertation investigates generic object tracking through the lens of adaptive video perception in streaming scenarios. By building from an initially uncertain research direction into a focused line of inquiry, it develops and evaluates methods across a set of publications, emphasizing rigorous problem formulation, validation, and careful framing of research contributions. The work targets human-level perceptual intelligence by clarifying key problems and enabling new possibilities for long-term progress.","arXiv :2607 .0 1395v 1 [ cs .CV] 1 Jul 2026  \nNational Yang Ming Chiao Tung University Institute of Computer Science and Engineering  \nDoctoral Dissertation  \nRethinking Generic Object Tracking Toward Human-Level Perceptual Intelligence  \nAuthor: Shih-Fang Chen  \nRethinking Generic Object Tracking Toward Human-Level Perceptual Intelligence  \nPh.D. Candidate: Shih-Fang Chen  \nAdvisor: Dr. Yen-Yu Lin  \nCo-Advisor: Dr. Jun-Cheng Chen  \nA Dissertation  \nSubmitted to the Institute of Computer Science and Engineering College of Computer Science National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University  \nin Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of  \nDoctor of Philosophy  \nin  \nComputer Science  \nJune 2026  \nTaiwan  \nAcknowledgments  \nThis dissertation owes a great deal to the guidance, advice, and collaboration of Prof. Yen-Yu Lin, Prof. Jun-Cheng Chen, and Dr. I-Hong Jhuo. Their rigorous standards, insightful feedback, and steady support shaped both this dissertation and my approach to research. I was fortunate to be part of a research environment that valued rigor, precision, and persistence. Such an environment gradually taught me to think more independently as a researcher, to work through uncertainty with patience, and to develop early ideas into mature contributions.  \nThe research direction of this dissertation began from a position of uncertainty. In a rapidly evolving field such as artificial intelligence, research topics change quickly, and the long-term value of a direction is often difficult to foresee. When I began working on generic object tracking and adaptive video perception in streaming scenarios, this work gradually took shape as a distinct line of inquiry within my immediate research environment. As the first author and sole student author of the three publications that form the core of this dissertation, I developed it through continuous exploration, evaluation, and refinement. Seeing this effort grow from an uncertain direction into works published in top-tier, high-impact venues became oneof the most formative parts [of my Ph.D. training](of my Ph.D. training).  \nThe path toward these publications was demanding rather than linear. Across the three works included in this dissertation, the research ideas went through repeated stages of submission, revision, rejection, and further refinement before reaching their final form. This process made me more careful in formulating problems, more rigorous in validating methods, and more attentive to how a research contribution should be framed and communicated. It also taught me that the value of research is not always visible at its earliest stage. Some ideas require accumulated experience, careful refinement, and time before their significance becomes clearer. Ultimately, I believe that meaningful research should aim to clarify important problems, open new possibilities, and contribute to the research community, human knowledge, and society over the long term. For readers still searching for their own research direction, I hope this reflection offers some encouragement: uncertainty atthe beginning does not diminish the value of a direction; it may instead be part of the process through which meaningful work takes shape.  \nWith these works completed, I was honored to receive the support and evaluation of my dissertation committee. I sincerely thank Prof. Tyng-Luh Liu, Prof.  \nChia-Wen Lin, Prof. Yen-Yu Lin, Prof. Chun-Rong Huang, Prof. Jun-Cheng Chen, Dr. I-Hong Jhuo, Prof. Yu-Lun Liu, and Prof. Min-Chun Hu. Coordinating an eight-member committee across time zones and institutions, including Academia Sinica, NTHU, NYCU, and Microsoft, was not easy, and I am deeply grateful to all committee members for serving on it and for approving this dissertation. The defense was one of the most valuable intellectual experiences [of my Ph.D. training](of my Ph.D. training).
