The Review of Target Tracking for UAV

Abstract

The target tracking based on UAV can effectively accomplish all kinds of tasks with the aid of vision processing system. In this paper, we focus on the single-target tracking, where the first frame of the rectangular calibration of the target is captured and used for target tracking in the subsequent frames. First, the visual tracking algorithms are briefly introduced, and the UAV based visual tracking algorithms are divided into generative and discriminative categories. The advantages and disadvantages of the target tracking methods based on UAV is summarized. Furthermore, the application of target tracking algorithms based on UAV are discussed and the developmental prospects for target tracking based on UAV are also provided.
