Robust tracking has a variety of practical applications. Despite many years of progress, it is still a difficult problem due to enormous uncertainties in real-world scenes. To address this issue, we propose a robust anchor-free based tracking model with uncertainty estimation. Within the model, a new data-driven uncertainty estimation strategy is proposed to generate uncertainty-aware features with promising discriminative and descriptive power. Then, a simple yet effective pyramid-wise cross correlation operation is constructed to extract multi-scale semantic features that provide rich correlation information for uncertainty-aware estimation and thus enhances the tracking robustness. Finally, a semantic consistency checking branch is designed to further estimate uncertainty of output results from the classification and regression branches by adaptively generating semantically consistent labels. Experiments on six benchmarks (i.e., OTB100, VOT2018, VOT2020, TrackingNet, GOT-10K and LaSOT) show the competing performance of our tracker with 130 FPS.
