This object lets you track the position of an object as it moves # from frame to frame in a video sequence. To use it, you give the # correlation_tracker the bounding box of the object you want to track in the # current video frame. Then it will identify the location of the object in # subsequent frames. # # In this particular example, we are going to run on the # video sequence that comes with dlib, which can be found in the # examples/video_frames folder. This video shows a juice box sitting on a table # and someone is waving the camera around. The task is to track the position of # the juice box as the camera moves around. # # # COMPILING/INSTALLING THE DLIB PYTHON INTERFACE # You can install dlib using the command: # pip install dlib # # Alternatively, if you want to compile dlib yourself then go into the dlib # root folder and run: # python setup.py install # or # python setup.py install --yes USE_AVX_INSTRUCTIONS # if you have a CPU that supports AVX instructions, since this makes some # things run faster. # # Compiling dlib should work on any operating system so long as you have # CMake installed. On Ubuntu, this can be done easily by running the # command: # sudo apt-get install cmake # # Also note that this example requires Numpy which can be installed # via the command: # pip install numpy import os import glob import dlib # Path to the video frames video_folder = os.path.join("..", "examples", "video_frames") # Create the correlation tracker - the object needs to be initialized # before it can be used tracker = dlib.correlation_tracker() win = dlib.image_window() # We will track the frames as we load them off of disk for k, f in enumerate(sorted(glob.glob(os.path.join(video_folder, "*.jpg")))): print("Processing Frame {}".format(k)) img = dlib.load_rgb_image(f) # We need to initialize the tracker on the first frame if k == 0: # Start a track on the juice box. If you look at the first frame you # will see that the juice box is contained within the bounding # box (74, 67, 112, 153). tracker.start_track(img, dlib.rectangle(74, 67, 112, 153)) else: # Else we just attempt to track from the previous frame tracker.update(img) win.clear_overlay() win.set_image(img) win.add_overlay(tracker.get_position()) dlib.hit_enter_to_continue()
