To balance the real-time and robustness of UAV visual tracking on a single CPU, this paper proposes an object tracker based on spatio-temporal context (STCT). STCT integrates the correlation filter and Siamese network into a unified framework and introduces the target’s motion model, enabling the tracker to adapt to target scale variations and effectively address challenges posed by rapid target motion, etc. Furthermore, a spatio-temporal regularization term based on the dynamic attention mechanism is proposed, and it is introduced into the correlation filter to suppress the aberrance of the response map. The filter solution is provided through the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). In addition, to ensure efficiency, this paper proposes the average maximum response value-related energy (AMRE) for adaptive tracking state evaluation, which considers the time context of the tracking process in STCT. Experimental results show that the proposed STCT tracker can achieve a favorable balance between tracking robustness and real-time performance for UAV object tracking while running at ∼38 frames/s on a low-cost CPU.
