Description
Summary:A real-time detection and tracking method of landmark based for UAV visual navigation and fixed landing was proposed. This method used the SVM classification algorithm to train the offline classifier based on SURF-BoW features extracted from samples, which can recognize the landing landmark accurately and complete the initialization of the tracker. Afterwards, tracked the landmark via the improved median flow algorithm to ensure the reliability and integrity of the tracking target. Finally, based on the classifier and the principle of similarity between two adjacent frames' target, this paper designed a target re-search algorithm to ensure that the target can be retrieved quickly even if the target is lost or the target tracking fails, which makes the entire set of algorithm track the target accurately for a long time. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has good tracking performance under the conditions of the change of target scale, illumination changes and motion blur.
