摘要

无人机多目标跟踪技术是无人机领域的一个重要研究方向，目前大多数多目标跟踪技术难以平衡跟踪任务的精度和实时性。针对此问题，设计小目标检测算法MT-YOLOv10，采用轻量化特征融合模块MSKFF（Multi-Selective Kernel Feature Fusion）增强特征融合效果，提升无人机空中检测能力。在跟踪算法中，通过向卡尔曼滤波引入自适应因数增强对噪声的自适应能力，同时改变卡尔曼滤波输入的状态向量以及引入轨迹置信度信息，提升对目标位置的预测能力，改进后的跟踪算法命名为PAC-ByteTrack。MT-YOLOv10在VisDrone2019-DET数据集上的检测实验结果显示其精度和mAP50较基线算法提升4. 3%和6. 5%。将MT-YOLOv10和PAC-ByteTrack相结合，在VisDrone2019-MOT（Multi-Object Tracking）和UAVDT两大无人机数据集上展开测评，其HOTA（Harmonized Overlap and Tracking Aumulator）分别提升4. 467%和1. 831%，性能优于大多数现有跟踪算法。新算法实现了稳定连续的跟踪，为无人机跟踪任务提供了新的解决方案。

Abstract

Multi-object tracking technology for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) is a significant area of research in this field. At present

the majority of multi-object tracking technologies are unable to achieve an equilibrium between tracking task accuracy and real-time performance. In order to address the issue under consideration

the small object detection algorithm MT-YOLOv10 has been designed to employ a lightweight feature fusion module (MSKFF) with a view to enhancing feature fusion performance and improving the detection capabilities of UAVs in aerial contexts. In the tracking algorithm

the adaptive capability to

noise is enhanced by introducing an adaptive factor into the Kalman filter. Concurrently

modifications are made to the state vector input to the Kalman filter

with trajectory confidence information being incorporated. This process serves to enhance the prediction capability of the target posiion. The advanced tracking algorithm is designated PAC-ByteTrack. The experimental findings from MT-YOLOv10 on the VisDrone2019-DET dataset illustrate enhancements of 4. 3% and 6. 5% in accuracy and

mAP

correspondingly

in comparison with baseline algorithm. The present study combined MT-YOLOv10 with PAC-ByteTrack

conducting evaluations on the VisDrone2019-MOT and UAVDT drone datasets. The HOTA demonstrated a marked improvement

with respective increases of 4. 467% and 1. 831%

thereby surpassing the performance of the majority of existing tracking algorithms. This algorithm has been demonstrated to achieve stable and continuous tracking

thus offering a novel solution for unmanned aerial vehicle tracking tasks.
