用目标描述语义引导跟踪,解决无人机反制中目标快速变化的难题。
Semantic-Aware Temporal Adaptation for UAV Anti-UAV Tracking

- 利用目标语言描述引导跨阶段上下文传播,保持目标身份
- 在线对齐特征分布,提升复杂场景下跟踪稳定性
- 适合低空动态环境下无人机反制与目标跟踪任务
无人机反制跟踪是利用移动观察无人机机载摄像头定位敌方无人机的一项新兴低空安全任务。由于观测平台和目标均在运动,导致视角快速变化、运动模糊、尺度变异以及视觉相似干扰物增多,使外观匹配变得困难。固定视觉表征在此类快速变化条件下常失效,因目标外观不可靠且特征分布偏离训练域。而目标的语言描述在帧间保持稳定,可作为时序状态传播的语义锚点;在线特征分布对齐则能缓解视频特定的测试时偏移。本文提出语义感知时序自适应框架SATATrack,引入语义感知上下文传播(SACP),通过目标描述指导骨干网络各阶段的时序上下文传递,以在快速外观变化中维持目标身份;训练时加入辅助对比正则项,抑制对语义相似背景区域的响应。推理时采用时序感知分布对齐(TADA),无需更新模型参数,结合近期帧估计与训练时统计量实现在线对齐,保障稳定性。SATATrack在UAV-Anti-UAV基准上达到最先进性能,并在Anti-UAV和UAV目标跟踪任务中保持竞争力。代码将发布于https://github.com/XiaozhenQiao/SATATrack。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
UAV Anti-UAV tracking is an emerging low-altitude security task for localizing an adversarial UAV using the onboard camera of a moving observer UAV. It differs from conventional UAV tracking and ground-based Anti-UAV tracking because both the camera platform and the target move simultaneously. This dual-dynamic setting induces rapid viewpoint changes, motion blur, scale variation, and visually similar distractors, making reliable appearance matching difficult. Under such rapidly changing conditions, fixed visual representations are often insufficient because target appearance becomes unreliable and feature distributions may deviate from the training domain. The target language description remains stable across frames and can therefore serve as a semantic anchor for temporal state propagation, while online feature-distribution alignment can reduce video-specific test-time shifts. In this paper, we propose \emph{SATATrack}, a Semantic-Aware Temporal Adaptation framework for UAV Anti-UAV tracking. SATATrack introduces Semantic-Aware Context Propagation (SACP), which uses the target description to guide temporal context propagation across backbone stages and preserve target identity under rapid appearance changes. An auxiliary contrastive regularizer is used during training to discourage responses to semantically similar background regions. During inference, Temporal-Aware Distribution Alignment (TADA) aligns feature distributions online without updating model parameters, combining recent-frame estimates with training-time statistics for stability. SATATrack achieves state-of-the-art performance on the UAV-Anti-UAV benchmark while remaining competitive in Anti-UAV and UAV object tracking tasks.
