Human body detection and tracking method and device based on unmanned aerial vehicle mobile platform

The invention discloses a human body detection and tracking method and device based on an unmanned aerial vehicle mobile platform and belongs to the computer vision field. The technical key points of the method comprise a human body detector training step, a target human body recognizer offline training step, a target human body detection step and a human body tracking step, wherein the target human body detection step is characterized by receiving a current video frame shot by an unmanned aerial vehicle, extracting object characteristic value in the current video frame, sending the object characteristic value to a human body detector, the human body detector judging whether a human body is detected according to the characteristic value, and if so, further sending the characteristic value to a target human body recognizer, the target human body recognizer judging whether a target human body is detected according to the characteristic value, and if so, labeling the characteristic value and adding the characteristic value to a tracking list; and the human body tracking step is characterized by predicating position of the target human body in the next video frame according to the coordinate position of the target human body in the current video frame.
