Since both visible and infrared images have their own advantages and disadvantages, RGBT tracking plays an important role in intelligent transportation systems. The key points of RGBT tracking lie in feature extraction and fusion of visible and infrared images. Current RGBT tracking methods mostly pay attention to both individual features (features extracted from images of a single camera) and common features (features extracted and fused from an RGB camera and a thermal camera). Still, they pay less attention to different and dynamic contributions of the individual and common features for different sequences of registered image pairs. This paper proposes a novel RGBT tracking method, called Dynamic Fusion Network (DFNet), which adopts a two-stream structure, in which two non-shared convolution kernels are employed in each layer to extract individual features. Besides, DFNet has shared convolution kernels for each layer to extract common features. Since non-shared and shared convolution kernels are adaptively weighted and summed according to different image pairs, DFNet can deal with different contributions for different sequences. DFNet has a fast speed, which is 28.658 FPS. The experimental results show that when DFNet only increases the Mult-Adds by 0.02% compared with the non-shared-convolution-kernel-based fusion method, Precision Rate (PR) and Success Rate (SR) reach 88.1% and 71.9%, respectively. The model and dataset are available at https://github.com/PengJingchao/DFNet.
