description This paper focuses on the problem of visual tracking of a moving target with the temporary occlusion of image feature, a dynamic visual tracking control system for robot manipulator is developed by using adaptive fading Kalman filter (AFKF). The estimation of the residual covariance is used to compute the forgetting factor to automatically adjust the weight of the image observation data for improving the visual state estimation accuracy. When the target features are occluded, the prediction of missing observation sequence are generated by using the predicted compensation noise and preorder observation sequence to determine the forgetting factor for estimating the missing visual states. Then, a parameter adaptive law with projection error compensation is designed to realize the visual tracking with uncertain camera parameters. Finally, the trajectory tracking experiments based on a real robot platform is carried out to verify the performance of the proposed state estimator and tracking controller. The results show that the proposed method can accurately realize the visual tracking with the occluded trajectory and inaccurate camera parameters, which improves the flexibility of dynamic visual tracking of robot manipulator.
