Object tracking has made significant advancements in recent years, with new algorithms improving accuracy and speed. One of the major developments is the integration of deep learning into traditional tracking methods. Models like DeepSORT (Deep Learning-based SORT) combine a traditional tracking algorithm (SORT) with deep learning for better feature extraction, improving the system’s ability to handle occlusions and re-identify objects in complex environments. Another advancement is the use of tracking-by-detection frameworks, where detectors identify objects in each frame, and trackers follow those detections across frames. This method, seen in models like SiamRPN (Siamese Region Proposal Network), improves performance in real-time tracking and multi-object scenarios. Transformers have also made their way into object tracking, especially with models like TransTrack that utilize self-attention mechanisms to capture long-term dependencies between object movements. This method allows more accurate and stable tracking even in crowded or occluded scenes. Additionally, multi-modal tracking is becoming a growing area, where object tracking combines data from various sensors, such as RGB cameras, LiDAR, and thermal imaging, to enhance robustness in challenging environments. These advancements are especially useful in autonomous vehicles and robotics, where precise tracking of objects in dynamic environments is crucial.
