摘要
RGB-X tracking complements RGB appearance with thermal, depth, or event observations, but centralized training requires collecting multimodal videos at a single location. Federated training keeps raw videos local, but sensor heterogeneity can create a mismatch between parameter-sharing domains and the clients contributing to them. This mismatch is particularly relevant when RGB-only clients coexist with sensor-equipped clients: their RGB observations remain useful, but they provide no auxiliary measurements for learning sensor-dependent interactions. We propose Fed-MAPTrack, a modality-aware federated prompt tuning framework for RGB-X tracking. The pretrained tracking backbone and prediction head are frozen, and clients optimize and exchange only prompt-related parameters. The server aggregates RGB-shared parameters globally and maintains separate thermal, event, and depth banks for auxiliary-specific, fusion, and normalization parameters. Selective participation retains RGB-only clients' contributions to the global RGB bank while excluding their fusion and normalization updates from modality-specific aggregation. Across three matched training repetitions under a fixed client partition, Fed-MAPTrack improves the mean FedAvg scores by 2.35 AUC points on LasHeR, 3.45 SR points on VisEvent, and 2.11 F-score points on DepthTrack. Among the nine evaluated methods, it achieves the highest mean thermal AUC and depth F-score, while its mean event SR is 0.07 points below that of Independent FL. Controlled ablations show that extending the bucketing scope without a compatible participation rule can reduce performance. These results highlight the need to jointly define the sharing domain and eligible contributors for each parameter group.
