Description ✏️

To perform video tracking an algorithm analyzes sequential video frames and outputs the movement of targets between the frames. There are a variety of algorithms, each having strengths and weaknesses. Considering the intended use is important when choosing which algorithm to use. There are two major components of a visual tracking system: target representation and localization, as well as filtering and data association.

Video tracking is the process of locating a moving object (or multiple objects) over time using a camera. It has a variety of uses, some of which are: human-computer interaction, security and surveillance, video communication and compression, augmented reality, traffic control, medical imaging and video editing.

I could not run this code, it is making movements randomly on its own.

How to begin?

how does the camera detect the finger point or pen point in your case?
The files open, but how to begin?

How to classify an object is hand?

Thanks a lot for your sharing.
My question is that if I have a running video stream, how can I classify the object is hand?
Need the object be set manually?
