Consider improved video object tracking #646

Open mzur opened 10 months ago

Today I saw FAIR's co-tracker which looks like an impressive video object tracking method. While it has a complicated license, there is also OmniMotion with an Apache license, looking similarly good. We should explore these (GPU-backed) tracking methods to improve the tracking performance of the video annotation tool.

Both look very good. Also there is MMtracking. However it only implements few algorithms.

Right, MMTracking would work well with the existing dependencies of MAIA.

I had a very small test with co-tracker tracking a fish in a video with good visibility. It worked well until the fish went into the corals and emerged again at a slightly different location. The tracker got stuck like most other trackers also did in previous tests.
