All-Day Object Tracking for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

Understand

Visual object tracking, which is representing a major interest in image processing field, has facilitated numerous real world applications.

• Among them, equipping unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with real time robust visual trackers for all day aerial maneuver, is currently attracting incremental attention and has remarkably broadened the scope of applications of object tracking.
• However, prior tracking methods have merely focused on robust tracking in the well-illuminated scenes, while ignoring trackers' capabilities to be deployed in the dark.
• In darkness, the conditions can be more complex and harsh, easily posing inferior robust tracking or even tracking failure.
