Aiming at the problem that the traditional correlation filter tracking algorithm is prone to tracking failure under the target’s scale change and occlusion environment, we propose a scale-adaptive Kernel Correlation Filter (KCF) target tracking algorithm combined with the learning rate adjustment. Firstly, we use the KCF to obtain the initial position of the target, and then adopt a low-complexity scale estimation scheme to get the target's scale, which improves the ability of the proposed algorithm to adapt to the change of the target's scale, and the tracking speed is also ensured. Finally, we use the average difference between two adjacent images to analyze the change of the image, and adjust the learning rate of the target model in segments according to the average difference to solve the tracking failure problem when the target is severely obstructed. Compared the proposed algorithm with other five classic target tracking algorithms, the experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is well adapted to the complex environment such as target’s scale change, severe occlusion and background interference. At the same time, it has a real-time tracking speed of 231 frame/s.
