Absolute Motion Analysis- General Plane Motion

Absolute Motion Analysis- General Plane Motion

Visualize a drone, with its propellers spinning rapidly, hovering mid-air. The fascinating movements and operations of this drone can be comprehended by applying the principle of general plane motion.
As the drone's propellers rotate, an upward force is generated that counteracts the force of gravity, enabling the drone to lift off from the ground. This initial movement of the drone is along a straight path, representing a form of translational motion. In this phase, every point on the drone...

Introduced a global attention mechanism to expand the field of view and refine features.
Designed an anchor-free frame-aware feature modulation mechanism for efficient anchor generation and target refinement.

Main Results:

The proposed algorithm demonstrates a balance between speed and accuracy on UAV tracking datasets (UAV123@10fps, UAV20L, DTB70).
Achieved a real-time processing speed of 30 frames per second on the Jetson Orin Nano platform.
Showcased improved tracking performance for small targets and adaptability to target deformation.

Conclusions:

The developed method offers a robust solution for real-time UAV target tracking.
The integration of feature fusion and attention mechanisms significantly enhances tracking capabilities.
