To prevent unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) from threatening public security, anti-UAV object tracking has become a critical issue in industrial and military applications. However, tracking UAV objects stably is still a challenging issue because the scenarios are complicated and the targets are generally small. In this article, a novel long-term tracking architecture composed of a Siamese network and re-detection (SiamAD) is proposed to efficiently locate UAV targets in diverse surroundings. Specifically, a new hybrid attention mechanism module is exploited to conduct more discriminative feature representation and is incorporated into a Siamese network. At the same time, the attention-based Siamese network fuses multilevel features for accurately tracking the target. We further introduce a hierarchical discriminator for checking the reliability of targeting, and a discriminator-based redetection network is utilized for correcting tracking failures. To effectively catch up with the appearance changes of UAVs, a template updating strategy is developed in long-term tracking tasks. Our model surpasses many state-of-the-art models on the anti-UAV benchmark. In particular, the proposed method can achieve 13.7% and 16.5% improvements in success rate and precision rate, respectively, compared with the strong baseline SiamRPN++.
