Introduction

Tracking is used to predict and track an object that is being feed through the webcam. We chose to use the algorithms offer by OpenCV mainly because this project relies heavily on it. We have used the latest version of OpenCV (3.3). In this version there are six tracking algorithm that we can use. Boosting, MIL, KCF, TLD, MEDIANFLOW and GOTURN. If unsure which algorithm should be used please refer to OPENCV for more information. For this project we have used Boosting algorithms, however it is possible to change the algorithm. Instructions will be provided in Setup section to change and run the algorithms.
