In FSRPN, spatial attention-based fusion strategy is applied to Siamese CNN framework. The deep features extracted by ResNet-50 from RGB and infrared images, are fused by this strategy to get more accurate and more plentiful information of object. Then, these fused deep features are utilized to track object by RPN-based network.

The FSRPN exploits siamese CNN framework and spatial attention-based fusion strategy [1] for tracking. ResNet-50 [2] is used to extract multi-layers (three layers) deep features from RGB and infrared images, respectively. Before feeding into region proposal sub-networks, these features are fused by spatial attention-based fusion strategy based on l_1-norm in each layer. Then, these fused deep features and the region proposal sub-network are utilized to RPN networks to determine the position of object. The FSRPN is based on SiamRPN++ [3].

The fusion strategy comes from DenseFuse.
