However, existing approaches perform event feature extraction for RGB-E tracking using traditional appearance models, which have been optimised for RGB only tracking, without adapting it for the intrinsic characteristics of the event data. To address this problem, we propose an Event backbone (Pooler), designed to obtain a high-quality feature representation that is cognisant of the innate characteristics of the event data, namely its sparsity. In particular, Multi-Scale Pooling is introduced to capture all the motion feature trends within event data through the utilisation of diverse pooling kernel sizes. The association between the derived RGB and event representations is established by an innovative module performing adaptive Mutually Guided Fusion (MGF). Extensive experimental results show that our method significantly outperforms state-of-the-art trackers on two widely used RGB-E tracking datasets, including VisEvent and COESOT, where the precision and success rates on COESOT are improved by 4.9% and 5.2%, respectively.
