What does a video tracker do?

A video tracker is a device or software that analyzes and monitors the movement of objects or individuals within a video footage. It uses advanced algorithms and computer vision techniques to detect and track specific targets or patterns of interest. By analyzing the video frames, a video tracker can provide information about the location, speed, direction, and other relevant data of the tracked objects. This technology is commonly used in various fields, including surveillance, sports analysis, virtual reality, and autonomous vehicles.

The objective of video tracking is to associate target objects in consecutive video frames. The association can be especially difficult when the objects are moving fast relative to the frame rate.
