The development of the intelligent Internet of Things has facilitated the adoption of high-efficiency Multiple Targets Tracking (MTT) in many civil security applications. However, existing MTT technologies cannot offer full capability in accurate and real-time MTT for civil security. Many attractive applications in the next-generation wireless network, like Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) swarm, are envisioned to be exploited for enhanced MTT with the advantage of flexibility. Nonetheless, highly dynamic moving targets impose some new challenges. UAVs cannot always perform expected cooperative tracking in conventional architectures as well. To address these problems, we design a tiered Digital Twin-assisted tracking framework in this paper, which leverages multi-grained imitation for real-time and accurate MTT. We imitate a coarse-grained MTT to ensure a high successful tracking ratio. We then design a fine-grained imitation with a reaction-diffusion mechanism to explore the feasible cooperators based on trajectory prediction. Hardware-in-the-loop simulations demonstrate that our tiered framework can reduce 66.7% of the system latency overhead compared to the conventional DDPG benchmark while improving the successful tracking ratio by 30.6%.
