基于无人机的人群监控是安防、公共安全与活动管理的关键技术。然而,保持跟踪连续性和一致性仍是挑战。传统检测-分配追踪方法易出现误报、漏报及频繁身份切换,导致计数不准,难以开展深入分析。本文提出一种面向点的在线追踪算法,在SORT框架基础上,将原始的边界框匹配替换为点距离度量。通过引入三种低成本技术:相机运动补偿、高度感知分配与分类验证轨迹,进一步提升性能。同时集成深度判别相关滤波(DDCF),复用定位网络的空间特征图,实现计算效率提升。在DroneCrowd与新发布的UP-COUNT-TRACK数据集上评估,计数误差分别降低至23%和15%,身份切换显著减少,追踪精度优于基线在线追踪器,甚至超过离线贪心优化方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Drone-based crowd monitoring is the key technology for applications in surveillance, public safety, and event management. However, maintaining tracking continuity and consistency remains a significant challenge. Traditional detection-assignment tracking methods struggle with false positives, false negatives, and frequent identity switches, leading to degraded counting accuracy and making in-depth analysis impossible. This paper introduces a point-oriented online tracking algorithm that improves trajectory continuity and counting reliability in drone-based crowd monitoring. Our method builds on the Simple Online and Real-time Tracking (SORT) framework, replacing the original bounding-box assignment with a point-distance metric. The algorithm is enhanced with three cost-effective techniques: camera motion compensation, altitude-aware assignment, and classification-based trajectory validation. Further, Deep Discriminative Correlation Filters (DDCF) that re-use spatial feature maps from localisation algorithms for increased computational efficiency through neural network resource sharing are integrated to refine object tracking by reducing noise and handling missed detections. The proposed method is evaluated on the DroneCrowd and newly shared UP-COUNT-TRACK datasets, demonstrating substantial improvements in tracking metrics, reducing counting errors to 23% and 15%, respectively. The results also indicate a significant reduction of identity switches while maintaining high tracking accuracy, outperforming baseline online trackers and even an offline greedy optimisation method.
