The present invention relates to an unmanned aerial vehicle having an automatic tracking function and a control method thereof, the unmanned aerial vehicle comprising: an image input unit for acquiring an image of a peripheral image of a subject to be photographed; an object recognition unit for extracting a region of interest using the image acquired through the image input unit, detecting a specific region located within the region of interest to measure coordinates, and recognizing the specific region as an object to be tracked; an object tracking unit for calculating and tracking a position of the object to be tracked recognized by the object recognition unit using a tracking learning detection (TLD) learning algorithm and generating a drive command for driving the unmanned aerial vehicle corresponding to the position; a motion recognition unit for recognizing a motion of the object to be tracked and generating a driving command corresponding to a photographing mode, a moving picture photographing mode, and a return mode; and a drive control unit for driving the unmanned aerial vehicle according to the drive command. Due to this feature, the present invention has an effect of enabling autonomous flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle by recognizing and automatically tracking an object to be tracked.
