Ship tracking method and device, holder tracking equipment and electronic equipment

The embodiment of the invention provides a ship tracking method and device, holder tracking equipment and electronic equipment, and is applied to the technical field of image processing. The method comprises the steps that when a target ship is detected in a target water area, image acquisition equipment is adjusted to a posture for acquiring an image of the target ship, and the image acquisition equipment comprises a visible light image acquisition channel and an infrared thermal image acquisition channel; and tracking the target ship by using an image output by a target channel meeting the specified tracking quality requirement in the visible light image acquisition channel and the infrared thermal image acquisition channel. According to the scheme, the ship in the target water area can be tracked. 本发明实施例提供了船舶跟踪方法、装置、云台跟踪设备及电子设备，应用于图像处理技术领域。该方法包括：在目标水域检测到目标船舶时，将图像采集设备调整至采集目标船舶图像的姿态，图像采集设备包括可见光图像采集通道和红外热图像采集通道；利用可见光图像采集通道与红外热图像采集通道中，满足指定跟踪质量需求的目标通道所输出的图像，对目标船舶进行跟踪。通过本方案，可以实现对目标水域内的船舶进行跟踪。
