In this recipe, you will learn how to use the different tracking algorithms implemented in the OpenCV tracking contrib module. Different tracking algorithms have different properties in terms of accuracy, reliability, and speed. Using the tracking API, you can try to find the one that best suits your needs.
Tracking objects using different algorithms via the tracking API
Getting ready
Before you proceed with this recipe, you need to install the OpenCV 3.x Python API package and the matplotlib package. OpenCV must be built with contrib modules, because the tracking API isn't a part of the main OpenCV repo.
