| Abstract |
The integration of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology with moving target detection has diverse applications in military reconnaissance, space remote sensing, and smart cities. Traditional motion-based target detection algorithms offer fast processing speeds but lack accuracy. Deep learning-based algorithms, while accurate for specific targets only, are complex and not suitable for resource-limited UAV platforms and lack real-time performance. Therefore, this study proposes a real-time moving target detection algorithm for UAV platforms based on traditional frame difference algorithm. The purpose of this algorithm is to improve detection accuracy, which has been hindered by the limitations of traditional algorithms caused by camera shake, background changes, and fast-moving targets. The algorithm involves rough background modeling, background updating during subsequent video image sequences, image morphology processing, and background compensation. Experimental results from multiple sets of UAV-borne video data demonstrate the algorithm's high target detection rate, low false alarm rate, and ability to detect moving targets stably in complex environments. The proposed algorithm achieves a speed of 25 FPS and a detection accuracy of 91.8%, meeting real-time and accurate detection requirements. © 2023 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
