A control method for a mobile platform includes obtaining a captured image, identifying one or more candidate first characteristic parts from the captured image, determining a second characteristic part of a target object in the captured image, determining one or more matching parameters each corresponding to one of the one or more candidate first characteristic parts based on the one or more candidate first characteristic parts and the second characteristic part, determining a target first characteristic part of the target object from the one or more candidate first characteristic parts based on the one or more matching parameters, and switching from tracking the second characteristic part to tracking the target first characteristic part in response to a tracking parameter of the target object meeting a preset tracking condition.
