Abstract This paper investigates the problem of traffic surveillance using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and proposes a domain-knowledge-aided airborne ground moving target tracking algorithm. To improve the accuracy of multiple target tracking, the proposed algorithm incorporates domain knowledge into the joint probabilistic data association (JPDA) filter as state constraints. The domain knowledge considered in this paper includes both road information extracted from a given map and local traffic regulations. Conventional track update method is modified to enhance the capability of recognition of temporarily track loss. A variable structure multiple model (VS-MM) method is developed to assign the road segment to a given target. The main contribution of this paper is that we establish a comprehensive framework for target tracking with the aid of domain knowledge and analyze the effect of diverse constraints on target tracking performance, while the limitations involve only 2-D target behaviors are considered, and the sophisticated interactions between targets are neglected. The effectiveness of proposed algorithm is demonstrated through extensive numerical simulations.
