Abstract

In this work, we present advancements to the DroTrack algorithm for improved object tracking in drone-based applications. Our proposed method enhances accuracy and robustness in long-range, real-time scenarios. We compare DroTrack to our improvements using multiple examples, highlighting improvements.

Video Comparisons

Example 1: Fast Motion

Our method demonstrates superior handling of high-speed object movement compared to DroTrack.

Example 2: Fast Motion

Again, our method handles fast motion better.

Example 3: Occlusion

When the car passes under the power lines, our method does a better job (yet far from perfect) of keeping track of the car.
