Multiple Object Tracking algorithm (MOT) combining a deep association metricwith the well known SORT algorithm for better performance.

Task: Object tracking

Kalman

Run DeepSort tracking algorithm for video analysis. In most cases, tracking algorithms should be connected to object detection algorithm.

Simple Online and Realtime Tracking (SORT) is a pragmatic approach to multiple object tracking with a focus on simple, effective algorithms. This algorithm improves performance of SORT by introducing deep association metric to reduce object identity switches.

🚀 Use with Ikomia API

1. Install Ikomia API

We strongly recommend using a virtual environment. If you're not sure where to start, we offer a tutorial here.

pip install ikomia

2. Create your workflow

from ikomia.dataprocess.workflow import Workflow
from ikomia.utils.displayIO import display
import cv2

# Init your workflow
wf = Workflow()

# Add object detection algorithm
detector = wf.add_task(name="infer_yolo_v7", auto_connect=True)

# Add DeepSORT tracking algorithm
tracking = wf.add_task(name="infer_deepsort", auto_connect=True)

stream = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
while True:
    # Read image from stream
    ret, frame = stream.read()

    # Test if streaming is OK
    if not ret:
        continue

    # Run the workflow on current frame
    wf.run_on(array=frame)

    # Get results
    image_out = tracking.get_output(0)
    obj_detect_out = tracking.get_output(1)

    # Display
    img_res = cv2.cvtColor(image_out.get_image_with_graphics(obj_detect_out), cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
    display(img_res, title="DeepSORT", viewer="opencv")

    # Press 'q' to quit the streaming process
    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
        break

# After the loop release the stream object
stream.release()
# Destroy all windows
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

☀️ Use with Ikomia Studio

Ikomia Studio offers a friendly UI with the same features as the API.

  • If you haven't started using Ikomia Studio yet, download and install it from this page.

  • For additional guidance on getting started with Ikomia Studio, check out this blog post.

📝 Set algorithm parameters

# Add DeepSORT tracking algorithm
tracking = wf.add_task(name="infer_deepsort", auto_connect=True)

tracking.set_parameters({
    "categories": "all",
    "conf_thres": "0.5",
})
  • categories (str, default="all"): categories of objects you want to track. Use a comma separated string to set multiple categories (ex: "dog,person,car").
  • conf_thresh (float, default=0.5): object detection confidence.

Note: parameter key and value should be in string format when added to the dictionary.

🔍 Explore algorithm outputs

Every algorithm produces specific outputs, yet they can be explored them the same way using the Ikomia API. For a more in-depth understanding of managing algorithm outputs, please refer to the documentation.

# Add DeepSORT tracking algorithm
tracking = wf.add_task(name="infer_deepsort", auto_connect=True)

stream = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
while True:
    # Read image from stream
    ret, frame = stream.read()

    # Test if streaming is OK
    if not ret:
        continue

    # Run the workflow on current frame
    wf.run_on(array=frame)

    # Iterate over outputs
    for output in tracking.get_outputs():
        # Print information
        print(output)
        # Export it to JSON
        output.to_json()

DeepSORT algorithm generates 2 outputs:

  1. Forwaded original image (CImageIO)
  2. Object detection output (CObjectDetectionIO)
