Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the target tracking technology in the field of computer vision detection, and particularly relates to a time-sharing detection and tracking double-cycle method, device, system and storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of unmanned aerial vehicle technology, unmanned aerial vehicles have advantages of high mobility, strong concealment, low cost and lightness, and their applications in the fields of industry, agriculture, military and the like have shown explosive growth. From photography and videography, logistics transportation to environmental monitoring, disaster relief and even military reconnaissance, the wide application of unmanned aerial vehicles has created value, but also has derived the phenomena of "black flight" and "wild flight", which pose a great threat to personal privacy, air traffic and national security. Therefore, it is very important to enhance the monitoring and tracking capability of illegal intrusion unmanned aerial vehicles for maintaining the safety of the country and society.

[0003] Current unmanned aerial vehicle detection and tracking technologies mainly include radar, audio, radio and vision. The radar system realizes parameter solving by emitting electromagnetic waves and analyzing the Doppler frequency shift characteristics of the target echo, has the advantage of long-distance detection, but has limitations such as echo energy attenuation, susceptibility to electromagnetic interference and confusion with bird target characteristics in small target monitoring; the audio monitoring system is based on Mel frequency cepstrum coefficient (MFCC) and linear prediction cepstrum coefficient (LPCC) and other voiceprint feature extraction, and combines support vector machine (SVM) or deep learning algorithm for identification, has the advantages of low cost and easy deployment, but its effective range is seriously restricted by environmental noise and propagation attenuation, and is mostly used as an auxiliary means in actual application; the radio technology realizes target positioning by constructing an unmanned aerial vehicle communication protocol feature library and combining time difference positioning (TDOA) and direction finding cross positioning technology, can analyze flight state and control link information, but has a detection blind area for unmanned aerial vehicles using silent flight mode, and is susceptible to complex signal interference in the same frequency band; compared with other technologies, the vision detection and tracking technology captures video through a camera, realizes unmanned aerial vehicle target classification and spatial positioning based on image feature extraction, and has balanced performance in monitoring range, scene adaptability and detection accuracy, is especially suitable for real-time monitoring of low-altitude targets, has advantages of intuitive visualization, strong anti-interference and stable performance, and has become the mainstream technical solution in the field of low-altitude safety protection.

[0004] Although the vision detection and tracking technology shows significant advantages, it still faces challenges such as tracking trajectory interruption, target ID frequent jumping and significant decline in recognition and tracking accuracy when detecting and tracking small unmanned aerial vehicle targets with sparse features, degraded texture and complete occlusion in complex scenes. In addition, the existing vision tracking method usually adopts a mode of frame-by-frame identification and detection of collected video to realize target tracking, has the problems of large data processing amount and heavy computing load, and is difficult to meet the demand of real-time detection and tracking.

[0005] The Chinese patent with patent application number 202510332138.X and the invention name of "a UAV target tracking method". When the invention is implemented, first, the target boundary box and confidence are obtained based on the target detector, and the noise adaptive Kalman filter is used to realize the prediction of the target motion state; Then through the double judgment of the intersection-over-union matching degree and the confidence change rate, the target needing feature extraction is screened, and its appearance feature is extracted through the Rep-OSNet network; Then the adaptive cost function of fusing motion direction and appearance similarity is used for cascade matching, and the mismatched target and trajectory are verified again; Finally, the effective trajectory state is updated by using the noise adaptive Kalman filter, the long-term lost trajectory is deleted, and the target identity ID and the predicted trajectory box are output synchronously. Although this method reduces the computational overhead by using dynamic feature extraction strategy and lightweight network design, and improves the tracking robustness in the semi-occluded scene by using adaptive cost function, it is sensitive to target appearance deformation, so in the long-distance small target tracking scene, the tracking performance will be attenuated due to insufficient feature resolution.

[0006] The Chinese patent with patent application number 202410812107.X and the invention name of "single target tracking UAV based on improved TransT algorithm". The invention first divides the TIB-Net dataset with an area ratio of less than 1% of the UAV into training and test sets in the ratio of 7:3 and enhances the training set, and then constructs a TransT-drone UAV target tracking model. The model reduces the parameter amount by adding a high-resolution tracking branch and cropping the large target related layer, replaces Conv with SPD-Conv to enhance small target feature extraction, and introduces GAM attention mechanism in the multi-scale fusion stage to improve feature retention capability. Experiments show that the model precision, recall rate and mAP are improved by 11.9%, 15.2% and 9% respectively, and the parameter amount and model size are reduced by more than 50%. However, the strategy of cropping the large target related layer not only weakens the adaptability of the model to the target size, but also easily causes tracking box drift or loss, and causes the rupture of the associated high-level semantic feature chain, resulting in target ID jump and tracking interruption in complex scenes.

[0007] Patent application number 202311680555.0, invention name "a low altitude unmanned aerial vehicle target tracking method based on LA-DeepSORT". The invention first uses the enhanced correlation coefficient (ECC) algorithm to compensate for the motion of the unmanned aerial vehicle video, and obtains the video frame sequence by frame processing. Then, the pre-trained YOLOv5 model is used to detect the video frame, and the unmanned aerial vehicle target prediction box and confidence are obtained. According to these prediction boxes and confidence, the Kalman filter and the tracker introducing MobileNetV3 are initialized to enhance the appearance feature extraction capability. Finally, through Kalman filter prediction, Hungarian algorithm matching and parameter updating, the tracking results containing unmanned aerial vehicle ID and tracking trajectory information are output. Although the invention improves the tracking performance through multi-dimensional improvement, the detection ability of YOLOv5 for low altitude remote small targets is limited, and the frame processing of 30 frames per second may not meet the actual demand in higher frame rate or low delay scene.

[0008] The above three inventions all use the method of video frame separation step by step to realize the tracking of unmanned aerial vehicle targets. This leads to a sharp increase in the amount of data processing of the detection and tracking model, significantly reducing the model processing speed. At the same time, the above methods all rely on the texture features of unmanned aerial vehicle targets to different degrees. When the unmanned aerial vehicle is blocked by vegetation or buildings in complex environments, its tracking process may be interrupted, and after the shielding is removed, it needs to be detected again, resulting in a change of target ID. In addition, the first method is sensitive to target appearance deformation, the second method has weak adaptability to target size, and the third method is limited by the target recognition network, resulting in insufficient tracking ability of the model for remote small unmanned aerial vehicle targets. At the same time, the third method is limited by the frame processing rate, which makes the model unable to meet the demand of real-time tracking of unmanned aerial vehicle targets. Although the above inventions expand the unmanned aerial vehicle target tracking method, they are unable to realize real-time and continuous tracking of small targets in complex scenes. SUMMARY

[0013] The present invention also provides a storage medium storing a computer program, which executes a time-sharing detection and tracking dual-loop method during runtime.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: This invention achieves high-precision, stable, and real-time tracking of small targets on UAVs in complex scenarios through multi-dimensional technology collaboration. First, it employs topological envelope modeling and point set reconstruction techniques, using the geometric center point of the target capture pane as a reference for isoangular sampling to construct a vector envelope description, replacing the traditional detection box and enhancing the fine-grained representation of small target morphology.

Finally, the time-sharing detection and tracking dual-loop mechanism supports dynamic adaptation to different detection algorithms and tracking models, breaking through the dependence of traditional frameworks on specific models and improving the system's generalization ability to multi-dimensional environments and cross-modal scenarios. In summary, this invention solves the problems of insufficient small target feature representation, occlusion tracking failure, difficulty in balancing real-time performance and stability, and weak model generalization in existing methods through the synergy of topological representation, motion modeling, homotopy discrimination, and time-sharing dual-loop.

Figure 3 Understand ID calibration and stable tracking based on a detection and tracking-based time-division dual-loop mechanism.

[0037] Specifically, the time-sharing detection and tracking dual-loop mechanism is as follows: A confidence-consistent method based on UAV small target detection, prediction results, and envelope homotopy criterion is established, creating a time-division dual-loop mechanism of "detection ⇋ tracking" at equal intervals, using continuous frame images F as the basis: ; equal-interval keyframes As anchor nodes, with To track nodes, using the same time interval as a benchmark, the target detection algorithm only... Detect keyframes and The confidence scores of the target detection results are compared. If the confidence score increases, the target is assigned a new label and ID based on the new detection result; otherwise, the label and ID remain unchanged. For tracking nodes, only inter-frame tracking is performed, thereby completing the time-division dual-loop mechanism for UAV target detection and tracking.

[0038] This invention provides a target tracking technology that achieves real-time, continuous, and stable tracking of small UAV targets with occlusion in complex scenarios through the synergistic application of multi-dimensional technologies, including topological representation, motion modeling, homotopy discrimination, and a dual-loop mechanism. First, an initial frame detection is performed on the acquired real-time video stream to construct a topologically equivalent envelope model of the target capture pane and the target region, laying the foundation for subsequent operations. Within the topologically equivalent envelope model of the target region, a vector equation is established starting from the geometric center point of the target capture pane to determine the envelope feature points. Based on the inter-frame temporal relationship between the target envelope feature points and the envelope center point, an envelope sampling point prediction system is derived to predict the position of the target envelope feature points in the current frame, thereby obtaining the predicted target capture pane for the current frame. The extracted target envelope in the predicted target capture pane of the current frame is compared with the target envelopes of historical frames to achieve homotopy discrimination and ID continuation; simultaneously, the feature points of the extracted envelope are used to calibrate the envelope feature point prediction system. Subsequent frame images repeat the above steps to eliminate the influence of occlusion and achieve real-time, continuous tracking of the UAV. In this process, video frames are re-detected at equal intervals during different time periods, and the detection results are assigned to the tracking process to realize the dynamic updating of the envelope feature point prediction system and the identity ID. Thus, the detection and tracking processes constitute a "detection ⇋ tracking" dual-loop mechanism. Through dynamic iterative verification and closed-loop feedback between the two throughout the entire tracking cycle, the target tracking accuracy and system robustness are significantly improved.

The third processing module is used to obtain the envelope feature point set of the UAV small target in the first frame and the extraction rules of the envelope feature points in the continuous frames based on the topological equivalent envelope model of the target area and the direction vector equation established with the geometric center of the target interception window. The fourth processing module is used to obtain the target capture pane for the current frame prediction based on the envelope feature point set of the UAV small target in the initial frame and the envelope feature point set of the UAV small target in the historical continuous frames extracted according to the extraction rules of the envelope feature points of the continuous frames. The fifth processing module is used to perform homotopy discrimination and ID consistency evaluation of small targets of moving UAVs in inter-frame images based on the extracted target envelope in the target capture pane of the current frame and the target envelope of historical frames.
