Detection confidence when drawing tracked_objects' boxes?

[anuragrawal2024]

Hi @aguscas ,

I am drawing bounding boxes from tracked_objects but I don't see an option to display detection confidence.

1. Why is that so?
2. What's the easiest way to get detection confidence? For my use case, I need the ability to track but also to display detection confidence in the output.

Let me know in case of any questions. Thanks!

Doesn't the argument draw_scores of the draw_boxes function allow you to draw the confidences?

[anuragrawal2024]

No, I just gave it a try. draw_scores doesn't seem to work with tracking_objects but works with Detection objects. For my use case, I would need it to work with tracking_objects since I also want tracking object id to keep track of the same object. Let me know if you need anything additional. Thanks!

Alright, makes sense since the score is an attribute of the Detection instead of the TrackedObject.

I can make a PR to add an score attribute to the TrackedObject to draw it (setting it to None in the TrackedObject. tracker_step method, and setting it equal to detection.score in the TrackedObject.hit method), but we would have to see with @facundo-lezama or @javiber if that would be a desirable feature to have in general before.

Anyway, I am not sure I understood the exact reason you want to be able to draw the score. What did you mean by 'I also want tracking object id to keep track of the same object'?

Yeah, PR would be great!

I am using norfair to track faces. When I present my users with the output, I want to show them:

1. detected faces with their confidence
2. if the same person is present in multiple frames, "id" from tracked_object to denote that it's the same person you have seen in other frames so essentially group faces by person.

Does that make sense?

I made this PR which adds the scores attribute to TrackedObject instances. It is still not merged (since we need to first discuss if that is a feature we would like to have), but you can try installing that version of norfair if you want to use it
