The algorithm is based on the correlation filtering framework. First, to extract more accurate target appearance features, in addition to the manual features histogram of oriented gradient features and color histogram features, the depth features from the conv3\u20134, conv4\u20134 and conv5\u20134 convolutional layer outputs in VGGNet-19 are also fused. Secondly, this paper designs a re-detection module of a fusion particle filter for the problem of how to return to accurate tracking after the target tracking fails, so that the algorithm in this paper can maintain high robustness during long-term tracking. Finally, in the adaptive model update stage, the adaptive learning rate update and adaptive filter update are performed to improve the accuracy of target tracking. Extensive experiments are conducted on dataset OTB-2015, dataset OTB-2013, and dataset UAV123. The experimental results show that the proposed multi-feature single-target robust tracking algorithm with fused particle filtering can effectively solve the long-time target tracking problem in complex scenes, while showing more stable and accurate tracking performance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22051879","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,27]],"date-time":"2022-02-27T20:48:33Z","timestamp":1645994913000},"page":"1879","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Multi-Feature Single Target Robust Tracking Fused with Particle Filter"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6213-8185","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Caihong","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information Science and Engineering, Xinjiang University, Urumqi 830046, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mayire","family":"Ibrayim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information Science and Engineering, Xinjiang University, Urumqi 830046, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2321-308X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Askar","family":"Hamdulla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information Science and Engineering, Xinjiang University, Urumqi 830046, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1561\/0600000079","article-title":"Computer vision for autonomous vehicles: Problems, datasets and state of the art","volume":"Volume 12","author":"Janai","year":"2020","journal-title":"Foundations and Trends\u00ae in Computer Graphics and Vision"},{"key":"ref_2","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":"2018","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
