MAETrack introduces a lightweight framework to adapt pretrained masked autoencoder (MAE) representations for 3D single object tracking (SOT). It uses Layer‑Selective Initialization (LSI) to keep shallow geometric layers from the pre‑training while re‑initializing deeper layers, and Geometric Residual Gating (GRG) to emphasize salient regions in BEV features before template‑search fusion. Experiments on standard 3D SOT benchmarks show consistent improvements over vanilla fine‑tuning with minimal computational cost.
ESMTrack is a fully end‑to‑end self‑supervised RGB‑T tracking framework that eliminates the need for costly modality‑aligned bounding boxes or offline pseudo‑label generation. It learns discriminative, temporally consistent representations using a grounding triplet loss on the initial annotated frame and a cross‑frame temporal triplet loss on unlabeled search frames, with reliable samples selected via forward‑backward consistency. A three‑branch architecture (fusion, RGB, thermal) and a modality decoupling mechanism mitigate modality dominance bias, enabling competitive state‑of‑the‑art performance, strong cross‑dataset generalization, and real‑time inference on five RGB‑T benchmarks.
UniMergeTrack introduces a hierarchical model merging strategy for RGB-X visual object tracking, combining independently trained modality-specific trackers into a unified framework. The method merges transferable backbones using high‑pass‑filtered merging, aligns tracking heads with optimal transport‑guided channel alignment, and fine‑tunes with distribution alignment to integrate cross‑task knowledge while preserving modality cues. Experiments on multiple benchmarks show state‑of‑the‑art or competitive performance across RGB‑Thermal, RGB‑Event, and RGB‑Depth tracking tasks, with strong generalization to unseen datasets.
