HDST-GNN: Heterogeneous Dynamic Spatiotemporal Graph Neural Networks for Multi-Object Tracking in UAV Aerial Imagery
Researchers have developed HDST-GNN, a novel graph neural network designed for multi-object tracking in UAV aerial imagery. This system addresses challenges like varying altitudes, small and occluded objects, and frequent identity switches. HDST-GNN introduces altitude-adaptive edge construction, heterogeneous node representation for different object states, and occlusion-gated temporal aggregation to improve tracking accuracy and reduce identity switches.
