AnyTrack: Unifying Visual Object Tracking with Any Modalities

Visual object tracking aims to continuously locate specific targets within sequential frames, evolving from single-modal methods to multi-modal ones. However, existing multi-modal trackers are typically designed for fixed modality combinations, requiring separate models for different inputs. This leads to a poor adaptability to missing or imperfect modalities, and limited generalization. To address these issues, we propose a novel unified framework called AnyTrack for object tracking with any modalities. Specifically, we design a Modality-aware Interaction Module (MIM) to facilitate dynamic interaction across diverse modalities. This module bridges modality discrepancies and aggregates temporal cues to maintain spatio-temporal consistency during cross-modal interaction. Furthermore, we introduce a Context Understanding Module (CUM) to establish spatial correspondence between visual features and target locations via global-local prompts. This module employs target-aware context modeling to enhance foreground-background discrimination for precise localization. Finally, to support the training and evaluation under diverse modalities, we extend existing multi-modal object tracking benchmarks by incorporating grayscale images, language descriptions, and audio clips. Extensive experiments with both complete and missing modality settings demonstrate that our AnyTrack achieves state-of-the-art performance, validating its effectiveness and flexibility.
