Aiming at the problem of poor robustness in visible light and thermal infrared image fusion tracking using Siamese network architecture, a real-time RGB-Thermal (RGB-T) infrared target tracking method based on feature fusion of dual Siamese network was proposed. Firstly, dual Siamese network was used to extract the features of template branch and the search branch of the visible light and infrared images, and two different modalities feature layers were obtained. Secondly, the self-attention feature enhancement module (SFEM) was used to enhance the features of the two modalities, and the dual-modal feature fusion (DMFF) module was used to fuse the features of template branch and search branch respectively. Finally, the template branch and search branch were used for cross-correlation operation, and the target position was obtained by classification and regression branches, so as to complete target tracking.
The test results on the grayscale thermal infrared target tracking dataset (GTOT) show that the precision rate (PR) of the proposed method is 91.8%, the success rate (SR) is 78.1%, and the running speed is 60 . It shows that, compared with other RGB-T fusion tracking methods, the proposed method has higher robustness while maintaining real-time processing speed.
