The efficient convolution operator (ECO) have manifested predominant results in visual object tracking. However, in the pursuit of performance improvement, the computational burden of the tracker becomes heavy, and the importance of different feature layers is not considered. In this paper, we propose a self-adaptive mechanism for regulating the training process in the first frame. To overcome the over-fitting in the tracking process, we adopt the fuzzy model update strategy. Moreover, we weight different feature maps to enhance the tracker performance. Comprehensive experiments have conducted on the OTB-2013 dataset. When adopting our ideas to adjust our tracker, the self-adaptive mechanism can avoid unnecessary training iterations, and the fuzzy update strategy reduces onefifth tracking computation compared to the ECO. Within reduced computation, the tracker based our idea incurs less than 1% loss in AUC (area-under-curve)
