Abstract
Recently, UAVs have gradually been widely used in both military and civilian fields, and play an increasingly important role in various industries. The study of stable and reliable UAV visual target tracking is of great significance to the application of UAVs. Object tracking still faces many challenges, such as target occlusion, target deformation, and other situations. In order to solve the problem that targets are easily lost due to fast moving speed and occlusion, we propose an independent particle based continuous tracking algorithm for the ground object tracking by UAV. We use an iterative update method to get the optimized position estimation of the target at different moments. For accurate and efficient estimation, the features extracted by convolutional neural networks, as well as target trajectory features, are used in the updating process. Multi-scale features are extracted to ensure that the algorithm remains highly accurate for target scale changes. Experimental results show that our algorithm can effectively detect UAV moving targets and still have a good performance for target occlusion.
