Object Tracking after the Detection

[amananand97]

I am using an IP camera and controlling it with Onvif protocol. So is there a way to track an object just after the the YOLOv5 detection or using the trained weights to track an object automatically through the camera feed?
I'm just a beginner in computer vision, if there's any other documentation it would be really helpful.

@amananand97 👋 Hello! Thanks for asking about object tracking in computer vision. YOLOv5 🚀 is an object detector that detect, localizes and classifies objects in a single image. It does not connect objects across multiple images, for this you need a tracking solution. A few possible tracking solutions are:

• Extended Kalman Filter (EKF): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalman_filter
• KLT tracker: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanade%E2%80%93Lucas%E2%80%93Tomasi_feature_tracker
• YOLOv5 DeepSort tracker: https://github.com/mikel-brostrom/Yolov5_DeepSort_Pytorch

Good luck and let us know if you have any other questions!
