Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology has witnessed widespread utilization in target surveillance activities. However, cooperative multiple UAVs for the identification of multiple targets poses a significant challenge due to the susceptibility of individual UAVs to false positive (FP) and false negative (FN) target detections. Specifically, the primary challenge addressed in this study stems from the weak discriminability of features in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging targets, leading to a high false alarm rate in SAR target detection. Additionally, the uncontrollable false alarm rate during electro-optical proximity detection results in an elevated false alarm rate as well. Consequently, a cumulative error propagation problem arises when SAR and electro-optical observations of the same target from different perspectives occur at different times. This paper delves into the target association problem within the realm of collaborative detection involving multiple unmanned aerial vehicles. We first propose an improved triplet loss function to effectively assess the similarity of targets detected by multiple UAVs, mitigating false positives and negatives. Then, a consistent discrimination algorithm is described for targets in multi-perspective scenarios using distributed computing. We established a multi-UAV multi-target detection database to alleviate training and validation issues for algorithms in this complex scenario. Our proposed method demonstrates a superior correlation performance compared to state-of-the-art networks. |
