原文アブストラクト
Existing FPV object tracking methods heavily rely on handcrafted modular pipelines, which incur high onboard computation and cumulative errors. While learning-based approaches have mitigated computational delays, most still generate only high-level trajectories (position and yaw). This loose coupling with a separate controller sacrifices precise attitude control; consequently, even if target is localized precisely, accurate target estimation does not ensure that the body-fixed camera is consistently oriented toward the target, it still probably degrades and loses target when tracking high-maneuvering target. To address these challenges, we present StableTracker, a learning-based control policy that enables quadrotors to robustly follow a moving target from arbitrary viewpoints. The policy is trained using backpropagation-through-time via differentiable simulation, allowing the quadrotor to keep a fixed relative distance while maintaining the target at the center of the visual field in both horizontal and vertical directions, thereby functioning as an autonomous aerial camera. We compare StableTracker against state-of-the-art traditional algorithms and learning baselines. Simulation results demonstrate superior accuracy, stability, and generalization across varying safe distances, trajectories, and target velocities. Furthermore, real-world experiments on a quadrotor with an onboard computer validate the practicality of the proposed approach.
