Query: Cross-Modal Object Tracking: Modality-Aware Representations and A
  Unified Benchmark   In many visual systems, visual tracking often bases on RGB image sequences,
in which some targets are invalid in low-light conditions, and tracking
performance is thus affected significantly. Introducing other modalities such
as depth and infrared data is an effective way to handle imaging limitations of
individual sources, but multi-modal imaging platforms usually require elaborate
designs and cannot be applied in many real-world applications at present.
Near-infrared (NIR) imaging becomes an essential part of many surveillance
cameras, whose imaging is switchable between RGB and NIR based on the light
intensity. These two modalities are heterogeneous with very different visual
properties and thus bring big challenges for visual tracking. However, existing
works have not studied this challenging problem. In this work, we address the
cross-modal object tracking problem and contribute a new video dataset,
including 654 cross-modal image sequences with over 481K frames in total, and
the average video length is more than 735 frames. To promote the research and
development of cross-modal object tracking, we propose a new algorithm, which
learns the modality-aware target representation to mitigate the appearance gap
between RGB and NIR modalities in the tracking process. It is plug-and-play and
could thus be flexibly embedded into different tracking frameworks. Extensive
experiments on the dataset are conducted, and we demonstrate the effectiveness
of the proposed algorithm in two representative tracking frameworks against 17
state-of-the-art tracking methods. We will release the dataset for free
academic usage, dataset download link and code will be released soon.
