Thermal Infrared Tracking Method Based on Efficient Global Information Perception.

To solve the insufficient ability of the current Thermal InfraRed (TIR) tracking methods to resist occlusion and interference from similar targets, we propose a TIR tracking method based on efficient global information perception. In order to efficiently obtain the global semantic information of images, we use the Transformer structure for feature extraction and fusion. In the feature extraction process, the Focal Transformer structure is used to improve the efficiency of remote information modeling, which is highly similar to the human attention mechanism.

Channel Exchanging for RGB-T Tracking.

It is difficult to achieve all-weather visual object tracking in an open environment only utilizing single modality data input. Due to the complementarity of RGB and thermal infrared (TIR) data in various complex environments, a more robust object tracking framework can be obtained using video data of these two modalities. The fusion methods of RGB and TIR data are the core elements to determine the performance of the RGB-T object tracking method, and the existing RGB-T trackers have not solved this problem well.
