  • Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has been widely used in various fields, target tracking is one of the key technologies of UAV applications. A UAV tracking algorithm based on feature fusion and segmented attention is proposed to solve the problems of UAV appearance changes and external interference when tracking targets. To improve the expression ability of fusion features, the weights of the three features are adaptively determined after the Siamese network has extracted histogram of oriented gradients (HOG), color names (CN), and deep convolution features from template and search images. Secondly, the improved feature segmentation attention mechanism is used to enhance the attention of the effective region in the template image feature information, so as to achieve more effective target similarity matching. The resultant feature vector is then transformed to YCbCr space to lower the computation cost. The feature response graph is then obtained using the discrete cosine transform (DCT), and classification regression is used to determine the final target location. Experiments show that the algorithm can reduce the influence of appearance change and external factors on tracking performance, and improve the accuracy of target tracking.
