The invention belongs to the video target tracking technology field and especially relates to an anti-occlusion target tracking method based on particle filtering and weighting Surf. The method comprises the following steps of firstly, initializing a target template; then, establishing a particle state transfer and observation model and using the particle filtering to predict a target candidate area; secondly, calculating an occlusion factor and determining whether a target generates occlusion; and then, if the target generates the occlusion, using extended Kalman filter to predict a target position again; if the target does not generate the occlusion, for the target candidate area determined by the particle filtering, extracting Surf characteristic points and matching with the target template, and accurately positioning the target position and an area; finally, according to the number of registering characteristic point pairs, deciding whether to use a forgetting factor mode to dynamically update the template. In the method, technologies of the particle filtering, occlusion determination, the extended Kalman filter, weighting Surf registering and the like are combined, tracking accuracy and robustness when the target generates the occlusion are increased and a good application prospect is possessed.
