However, challenges such as object deformation, motion blur, and object occlusion during the tracking process could significantly affect tracking performance and ultimately lead to tracking drift. To address this issue, this paper introduces a high-precision target-tracking method with anomaly tracking status detection and recovery. An adaptive feature fusion strategy is proposed to improve the adaptability of the traditional sum of template and pixel-wise learners (Staple) algorithm to changes in target appearance and environmental conditions. Additionally, the Moth Flame Optimization (MFO) algorithm, known for its strong global search capability, is introduced as a re-detection algorithm in case of tracking failure. Furthermore, a trajectory-guided Gaussian initialization technique and an iteration speed update strategy are proposed based on sexual pheromone density to enhance the tracking performance of the introduced re-detection algorithm. Comparative experiments conducted on UAV123 and UAVDT datasets demonstrate the excellent stability and robustness of the proposed algorithm.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16101768","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,16]],"date-time":"2024-05-16T11:26:17Z","timestamp":1715858777000},"page":"1768","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["UAV Complex-Scene Single-Target Tracking Based on Improved Re-Detection Staple Algorithm"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Yiqing","family":"Huang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Control Engineering, Chang\u2019an University, Xi\u2019an 710064, China"},{"name":"Xi\u2019an Key Laboratory of Intelligent Expressway Information Fusion and Control, Chang\u2019an University, Xi\u2019an 710064, China"}]},{"given":"He","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Control Engineering, Chang\u2019an University, Xi\u2019an 710064, China"},{"name":"Xi\u2019an Key Laboratory of Intelligent Expressway Information Fusion and Control, Chang\u2019an University, Xi\u2019an 710064, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7514-3239","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mingbo","family":"Niu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IVR Low-Carbon Research Institute, School of Energy and Electrical Engineering, Chang\u2019an University, Xi\u2019an 710064, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6986-1517","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Md Sipon","family":"Miah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IVR Low-Carbon Research Institute, School of Energy and Electrical Engineering, Chang\u2019an University, Xi\u2019an 710064, China"},{"name":"Department of Signal Theory and Communications, University Carlos III of Madrid, Leganes, 28903 Madrid, Spain"}]},{"given":"Huifeng","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Control Engineering, Chang\u2019an University, Xi\u2019an 710064, China"}]},{"given":"Tao","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Engineering, Chang\u2019an University, Xi\u2019an 710064, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1122","DOI":"10.1109\/TMM.2018.2872897","article-title":"Multi-Correlation Filters with Triangle-Structure Constraints for Object Tracking","volume":"21","author":"Ruan","year":"2019","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
