What is the difference between detection and tracking?
Object tracking refers to the ability to estimate or predict the position of a target object in each consecutive frame in a video once the initial position of the target object is defined. On the other hand, object detection is the process of detecting a target object in an image or a single frame of the video.
What is tracking by detection?
The tracking-by-detection method involves an independent detector that is applied to all image frames to obtain likely detections, and then a tracker, which is run on the set of detections. Hereby, the tracker attempts to perform data association (for example, linking the detections to obtain complete trajectories).
