Tracking Objects in Video
Advanced object tracking techniques for video.
8 min•By Priygop Team•Updated 2026
Tracker Comparison
- CSRT (Channel and Spatial Reliability Tracker): most accurate but slowest — good for precise applications
- KCF (Kernelised Correlation Filter): fast and accurate — good general purpose choice
- MOSSE: fastest tracker, least accurate — for high-speed applications
- MIL (Multiple Instance Learning): good when object appearance changes significantly
- Choosing: if you have GPU, CSRT; if speed is critical, KCF; if very high FPS needed, MOSSE
- Tracker failure: all trackers eventually lose the object. Combine with periodic re-detection for robustness
- Multi-object tracking: for tracking many objects simultaneously, use SORT or DeepSORT algorithms (pip install filterpy)
