Siamese Infrared and Visible Light Fusion Network for RGB-T Tracking
share
Due to the different photosensitive properties of infrared and visible light, the registered RGB-T image pairs shot in the same scene exhibit quite different characteristics. This paper proposes a siamese infrared and visible light fusion Network (SiamIVFN) for RBG-T image-based tracking. SiamIVFN contains two main subnetworks: a complementary-feature-fusion network (CFFN) and a contribution-aggregation network (CAN). CFFN utilizes a two-stream multilayer convolutional structure whose filters for each layer are partially coupled to fuse the features extracted from infrared images and visible light images. CFFN is a feature-level fusion network, which can cope with the misalignment of the RGB-T image pairs. Through adaptively calculating the contributions of infrared and visible light features obtained from CFFN, CAN makes the tracker robust under various light conditions. Experiments on two RGB-T tracking benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed SiamIVFN has achieved state-of-the-art performance. The tracking speed of SiamIVFN is 147.6FPS, the current fastest RGB-T fusion tracker.
