The invention discloses a method for judging occlusion in a target tracking process. The method comprises the following steps that step 1, reading a tracking target image sequence, extracting a firstframe of image in the image sequence, selecting a to-be-tracked target frame on the first frame of image, extracting an LBP feature vector LBP1 of the target frame wherein the first frame of image isa selected tracking target image in a completely unshielded state; step 2, reading a next frame of image, and performing coarse shielding judgment on the frame of image; step 3, if the step 2 is judged to be shielding, performing accurate shielding judgment t by utilizing a Bhattacharyya distance; step 4, judging whether the image sequence is the last frame of the tracking target image sequence ornot, and if so, ending; and if not, returning to the step 2. According to the invention, a more robust occlusion coarse judgment method is designed, the concept of the Bhattacharyya distance is combined, the interference of target deformation on occlusion judgment is eliminated, and whether the target is occluded or not can be judged more accurately.
