MAETrack: Unleashing the Potential of Pretrained Geometric Priors for 3D Single Object Tracking

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.

Learning to Track from Privileged Target Appearances

The paper introduces Privileged Appearance Transfer for Tracking (PATT), a teacher‑student framework that leverages exact target crops from past, current, and future frames during training to improve visual tracking. By weighting the teacher’s guidance with its localization advantage and accuracy, PATT transfers privileged appearance information to a deployable tracker that only uses past‑frame templates at inference. Experiments on seven benchmarks show consistent performance gains across both long‑ and short‑term tracking protocols.
