Object Tracking

[arevel190]

Hi,

I wanted to know if there is a clear path / tutorial that I could follow to train deep sort on detecting my own categories, like logos or objects?

Thanks a lot for your help :)

[obendidi]

the training code is not yet published by the authors of deep_sort, you can find more information here and here

EDIT :
Alternatively you can use sort for the object tracking, it's not as accurate as deep_sort , but it should do the trick, I will be adding it to the repo some time soon

@Bendidi I'll have a look into Sort. Also, is there a way to output the ID number to a txt file or print it?

Once again thank you for your help!

[obendidi]

you can set the csv FLAG to true it will write at run time the ID number ans the corresponding box in a csv file as mentioned in ReadMe :

csv : save csv file of detections in the format (frame_id,object_id,x,y,w,h)

I've added sort to the project , you can test it by setting FLAGS.tracker = "sort" and changing FLAGS.trackObj = "people" to the object you want to track

@Bendidi I just used the code you provided and now I am getting the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I really appreciate your help.

@Bendidi Hi, I tried reinstalling your git but now when I initialize all submodules I get the following error:

Once again, thank you very much for your constant help.

[obendidi]

it should propably work now, I've removed darkflow and re-added it so there shouldn't be a problem(Althrough I still don't understand why it wasn't working in the first place )

@Bendidi I just tested it again and it is working fine when I use deep_sort. But when I use sort I get this error:

RuntimeError: Python is not installed as a framework. The Mac OS X backend will not be able to function correctly if Python is not installed as a framework. See the Python documentation for more information on installing Python as a framework on Mac OS X. Please either reinstall Python as a framework, or try one of the other backends. If you are using (Ana)Conda please install python.app and replace the use of 'python' with 'pythonw'. See 'Working with Matplotlib on OSX' in the Matplotlib FAQ for more information.

Thanks a lot for your help.

I can't really help in this case as this an error specific for python in Mac OS, you can start with doing what they said :

´please either reinstall Python as a framework, or try one of the other backends. If you are using (Ana)Conda please install python.app and replace the use of 'python' with 'pythonw'. See 'Working with Matplotlib on OSX' in the Matplotlib FAQ for more information.´

@Bendidi Sounds good. I will try to test it on a Windows and Linux Machine to see how it goes. Thanks a lot for your help!
