Correlation filter (CF) has drawn extensive interest in aerial object tracking due to its remarkable performance. Recently, the popular CF methods based on temporal–spatial regularization have been proved to be able to effectively improve the tracking results. However, the boundary effect and filter template degradation still influence the speed and accuracy of the trackers. To handle the two problems, a novel dynamic temporal–spatial regularization-based channel weighted tracking (DTSCT) method was proposed in this work. First, we attempted to employ the saliency detection technique to describe object variation for weakening the boundary effect. Then, the filter template was introduced to the temporal regularization to alleviate the template degradation. In addition, an adaptive weighting strategy was utilized to remove data redundancy in the feature channels. Experiments on three benchmark datasets showed the competitive performance of our DTSCT approach compared to the state-of-the-art methods.
