To make use of satellite videos, target tracking in satellite videos has received extensive interest. However, this also faces a variety of new challenges such as global occlusion, low resolution, and insufficient information compared with traditional target tracking. To handle the abovementioned problems, a multi-feature correlation filter with motion estimation is proposed. First, we propose a motion estimation algorithm that combines a Kalman filter and an inertial mechanism to alleviate the boundary effects. This can also be used to track the occluded target. Then, we fuse a histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) features and optical flow (OF) features to improve the representation information of the target. Finally, we introduce a disruptor-aware mechanism to weaken the influence of background noise. Experimental results verify that our algorithm can achieve high tracking performance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14112691","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,3]],"date-time":"2022-06-03T10:33:01Z","timestamp":1654252381000},"page":"2691","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Satellite Video Tracking by Multi-Feature Correlation Filters with Motion Estimation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Yan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Engineering Research Center of Digital Forensics, Ministry of Education, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}]},{"given":"Deng","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Zhejiang Academy of Science and Technology Information, 33 Huanchengxi Rd, Hangzhou 310006, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4408-3800","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuhui","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Engineering Research Center of Digital Forensics, Ministry of Education, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, Nanjing 210044, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3329","DOI":"10.1109\/TIP.2016.2568752","article-title":"Spatiotemporal statistics for video quality assessment","volume":"25","author":"Li","year":"2016","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
