Abstract
A method includes obtaining an image frame captured by an imaging device carried by an unmanned vehicle and containing the target object, extracting one or more features of a target object from a region selected by a user on the image frame, and determining whether the target object is a predetermined recognizable object type based on a comparison of the one or more features with one or more characteristics associated with the predetermined recognizable object type. If the target object is the predetermined recognizable object type, tracking functions associated with the predetermined recognizable object type are initiated. IF the target object does not belong to the predetermined recognizable object type, tracking functions associated with a general object type are initiated.
