Title
Motion-Aware Ensemble Of Three-Mode Trackers For Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Abstract
To tackle problems arising from unexpected camera motions in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), we propose a three-mode ensemble tracker where each mode specializes in distinctive situations. The proposed ensemble tracker is composed of appearance-based tracking mode, homography-based tracking mode, and momentum-based tracking mode. The appearance-based tracking mode tracks a moving object well when the UAV is nearly stopped, whereas the homography-based tracking mode shows good tracking performance under smooth UAV or object motion. The momentum-based tracking mode copes with large or abrupt motion of either the UAV or the object. We evaluate the proposed tracking scheme on a widely-used UAV123 benchmark dataset. The proposed motion-aware ensemble shows a 5.3% improvement in average precision compared to the baseline correlation filter tracker, which effectively employs deep features while achieving a tracking speed of at least 80fps in our experimental settings. In addition, the proposed method outperforms existing real-time correlation filter trackers.
