• I have searched the Yolo Tracking issues and found no similar bug report.

Question

Now that yolov9 has been launched, I would like to try using yolov9 in yolotracing. May I ask if this is feasible? Do you have a plan to adapt? Or could you tell me how to replace the detector in YOLOtracking.

I asked on their repo if they plan to release a pip-package out of Yolov9. In that case, when released,I will add it asap.

I saw a third-party packaged pip package：https://github.com/kadirnar/yolov9-pip

I tried out Yolov9 but the package but is full of relative imports which collide with files in this repo for example from utils import ... in yolov9 collides with utils under examples/. This could be avoided by absolute imports using the full path to the project's root folder.

Thank you very much for trying and suggesting. So if I want to replace yolov8 with yolov9 or yoloworld in this project, I just need to install the pip package and change some naming?

The pkg has to be properly built. Otherwise it will create issues when being integrated with the rest of the repo. Like I explained in my previous comment. It should be fairly easy to add other detectors under tracking/detectors 😄
