SORT / DSORT for live video feed

[utsembedded]

HI ,

How can i use this application to track objects using my camera with live feed .

Hello, Assuming your object detection works, you can use this skeleton code to implement tracking on a live video:

import sort, cv2, numpy

def main():

    cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)   # Open the webcam feed

    tracker = sort.Sort(max_age=0.5, min_hits=0.5, iou_threshold=0.5)

    # Load your object detector network here

    while True:

        img = cap.read()

        # perform your detections + NMS here
        # Store the detections in the Sort acceptable format. E.g. for Darknet, 
        # I get bounding boxes + confidence scores

        # Here I am assuming detections is formatted as a numpy array of: [[x1, y1, x2, y2, confidence]].
        tracks = tracker.update(detections)

        # tracks gives you a 2D numpy array in the format [[x1, y1, x2, y2, tracked_id]]

        # Add your display code here
    cap.release()):

But are we making detections on every single frame? then what is the point of using tracker? How can we get updating bounding box locations using tracker without passing detections?
