description | With the advantages of discriminative correlation filter (DCF) in tracking accuracy and computational efficiency, the DCF-based methods have been widely used in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) for target tracking. However, UAV tracking inevitably encounters various challenging scenarios, such as background clutter, similar target, partial/full occlusion, fast motion, etc. These challenges generally lead to multi-peak interferences in the response map that cause the target drift or even loss. To tackle this problem, a response-consistent and background-suppressed correlation filter is proposed for UAV tracking. First, a response-consistent module is developed, in which two response maps are generated by the filter and the features extracted from adjacent frames. Then, these two responses are kept to be consistent with the response from the previous frame. By utilizing the l2-norm constraint for consistency, this module not only can avoid sudden changes of the target response caused by background interferences but also enables the learned filter to preserve the discriminative ability of the previous filter. Second, a novel background-suppressed module is proposed, which makes the learned filter to be more aware of background information by using an attention mask matrix. With the introduction of this module into the DCF framework, the proposed method can further suppress the response interferences of distractors in the background. Finally, extensive comparative experiments have been conducted on three challenging UAV benchmarks, including UAV123@10fps, DTB70 and UAVDT. Experimental results have proved that our tracker has better tracking performance compared with 22 other state-of-the-art trackers. Moreover, our proposed tracker can run at ∼36 FPS on a single CPU for real-time UAV tracking. |
