The reconnaissance mode with the cooperation of two unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with airborne visual tracking platforms is a common practice for localizing a target. Apart from the random noises from sensors, the localization performance is much dependent on their cooperative trajectories. In our previous work, we have proposed a cooperative trajectory generating method that proves better than EKF based method. In this letter, an improved online trajectory generating method is proposed to enhance the previous one. First, the least square estimation method has been replaced with a geometric-optimization based estimation method, which can obtain a better estimation performance than the least square method proposed in our previous work; second, in the trajectory optimization phase, the position error caused by estimation method is also considered, which can further improve the optimization performance of the next way points of the two UAVs. The improved method can well be applied to the two-UAV trajectory planning for corporative target localization, and the simulation results confirm that the improved method achieves an obviously better localization performance than our previous method and the EKF-based method.

In this paper, we propose a salient region detection method with multi-feature fusion and edge constraint. First, an image feature extraction and fusion network based on dense connection structure and multi-channel convolution channel is designed. Then, a multi-scale atrous convolution block is applied to enlarge reception field. Finally, to increase accuracy, a combined loss function including classified loss and edge loss is built for multi-task training. Experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
