The on-board target tracking of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) relies on on-board computer to process the collected ground image information, and then use the target tracking algorithm to achieve the target tracking function, which provides the user with target position, trajectory and other information. UAVs are limited by load and power consumption. Due to the high resolution and frame rate of UAV's image collection system, traditional target tracking platforms cannot meet the requirements. As a result, the real-time nature of the tracking platform urgently needs to be resolved. This study designs and implements the airborne ground target tracking accelerator for UAV. The kernelised correlationfilters (KCFs) algorithm with low computational complexity and precision is selected to achieve the airborne ground target tracking function and its performance bottleneck is analysed. In order to improve the real-time performance of the tracking task processing, the ZYNQ platform based on ARM and field programmable gate arrays is chosen to achieve the hardware acceleration of the KCF algorithm. The KCF algorithm is implemented in hardware using the high-level synthesis technology, and a high-speed data transmission link is established. Experiments show that the design can achieve a tracking rate of more than 30 FPS under 960x540 resolution, which meets the real-time requirements of UAV target tracking task.
