- Abstract:
-
Considering the problems associated with rotorcraft trackings, such as target scale variation, fast motion, and viewpoint change, this paper proposes a siamese network-based target tracking algorithm using MobileNetV2, which can run in real-time on an onboard UAV processor. The algorithm consists of target score and scale estimation modules. Combined with the multifeature fusion strategy, the target position and target box IoU were accurately predicted. At the same time, by employing the IoU, the gradient ascent method was used to iteratively modify the target bounding box to further improve the prediction accuracy. In addition, to solve the problem of target loss caused by full occlusion, a re-detection algorithm based on visual saliency detection was developed, which efficiently predicted the saliency map of the image in real-time to guide the re-detection of the target and resume tracking. Finally, the feasibility of the algorithm was verified by comparing the standard UAV tracking dataset and the actual UAV tracking experiment.
