tracking

Implementations of simple Lucas-Kanade and mean shift trackers.

Run

• Change settings in the arguments file.
• Provide the arguments file to run the app: tracking arguments.
• Change between trackers with SPACE, the bounding box of the previous frame will be used.
• When running without ground truth data press F to select a new base bounding box from the current frame.
• Close with ESC.

Setup

Windows

• Get vcpkg
• Run .\vcpkg.exe install opencv[contrib]
• Provide toolchain to cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<path-to-vcpkg>/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake

Examples
