Abstract: Highlights•A new target-cognisant siamese-based anchor-free tracker.•The proposed method computes cross-spatial attention for refining the measurement of spatial similarity.•Two tracking mechanisms are used to promote the precision of bounding box prediction.•A max filtering module is proposed to filter out similar distractors.•Our method achieves competitive performance on several tracking datasets.
