What is the difference between object detection and object tracking?

Object detection identifies objects in a single image or frame, while object tracking follows specific objects across multiple frames over time. The articles cover both concepts extensively: from tutorials on implementing BoT-SORT + YOLO to guides like 'Vision Agent' that combine object segmentation with text prompts for versatile applications.

How can I get started with object tracking?

Labellerr offers several resources including the Object Tracking section which covers implementations for OC-SORT (handling occlusion), BoT-SORT + YOLO integration, FairMOT tutorial focusing on identity switching issues in crowded scenes, and guides about StrongSORT that includes setup instructions using modern detectors like YOLO.

What is image similarity technology?
