The Procapra przewalskii, plays a vital role in sustaining the ecological balance within its habitat, yet it faces significant threats from environmental degradation and illegal poaching activities. In response to this urgent conservation need, article proposes multi-object tracking (MOT) method for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Initially, approach utilizes modified YOLOv7 network, which incorporates Group-Selective Convolution (GSConv) Neck component, effectively enhancing network’s ability preserve detailed information while simultaneously reducing computational load. Subsequently, Content-Aware ReAssembly of Features (CARAFE), an innovative feature upscaling method, replaces conventional nearest neighbor interpolation minimize loss critical data during image processing. phase, Deep SORT algorithm is expanded with proprietary UAV camera motion compensation (CMC) module that eliminates impact jitters. Moreover, system has incorporated confidence optimization strategy (COS) enhances performance especially when individuals are partially or fully obscured. been tested on przewalskii shown be effective. results show gains metrics where achieved improvements 7.0% MOTA, 3.7% MOTP, 5.8% IDF1 score compared traditional model. Improved methods can alleviate occlusion rapid movement tracking, thereby more accurately monitoring status each protecting it. Also, efficiency multi-target through use sufficient operational demands UAV-based wildlife monitoring, thus being reliable tool accurate efficient desired.

Abstract Underwater structural inspection is essential for ensuring the safety and longevity of bridges. To improve efficiency accuracy these inspections, this paper presents a method measuring morphology bridge piers through refraction correction multi‐camera calibration. Using an underwater visual platform with appropriate lighting, measurement equipment mitigates low visibility challenges. A coplanar camera parameter calibration based on encoded markers proposed to reduce effects refraction, along development multi‐refraction model. Additionally, novel extrinsic introduced stitch point clouds. comparative analysis two methods, conducted both in air underwater, has been performed validate approach. Finally, circular cross‐section shape pier was successfully measured, results defect localization were effectively presented.

FocusTrack: multiple object tracking of unmanned aerial vehicle by associating interested semantic information

Published: Oct. 22, 2024

Multiple Object Tracking (MOT) is a classical task in the field of computer vision, which aims to identify and track all objects video scene assign unique ID number each object. Tracking-by-Detection (TBD) paradigm has become mainstream framework for MOT due its high accuracy. With development UAV technology, research important military civilian value. However, it faces challenges such as class imbalance, many small targets, occlusion targets scene, makes difficult correctly match continuously targets. We propose new algorithm problem scenario. On one hand, solve imbalance dynamic adjustment parameter method based on gradient information training samples proposed improve generalization ability traditional loss function multi-class target tracking. other accuracy inter-frame matching, this paper introduces feature similarity calculation method, Wasserstein distance optimizes matching process according weight allocation mechanism importance. Finally, effectiveness verified VisDroneMOT2019 dataset. The results show that compared with existing algorithm, significant improvements tracking accuracy, trajectory integrity identity maintenance, achieving 38.8% MOTA 52.8% IDF1, are better than state-of-the-art algorithms.
