Object Tracking using Python and OpenCV
What you'll learn
- Track objects from videos and from the webcam using Python and OpenCV
- Understand the basic intuition about tracking algorithms
- Implement 12 tracking algorithms
- Understand the differences between object detection and object tracking
Requirements
- Programming logic
- Basic Python programming
Description
Object tracking is a subarea of Computer Vision which aims to locate an object in successive frames of a video. An example of application is a video surveillance and security system, in which suspicious actions can be detected. Other examples are the monitoring of traffic on highways and also the analysis of the movement of players in a soccer match! In this last example, it is possible to trace the complete route that the player followed during the match.
To take you to this area, in this course you will learn the main object tracking algorithms using the Python language and the OpenCV library! You will learn the basic intuition about 12 (twelve) algorithms and implement them step by step! At the end of the course you will know how to apply tracking algorithms applied to videos, so you will able to develop your own projects. The following algorithms will be covered: Boosting, MIL (Multiple Instance Learning), KCF (Kernel Correlation Filters), CSRT (Discriminative Correlation Filter with Channel and Spatial Reliability), MedianFlow, TLD (Tracking Learning Detection), MOSSE (Minimum Output Sum of Squared) Error), Goturn (Generic Object Tracking Using Regression Networks), Meanshift, CAMShift (Continuously Adaptive Meanshift), Optical Flow Sparse, and Optical Flow Dense.
You'll learn the basic intuition about all algorithms and then, we'll implement and test them using PyCharm IDE. It's important to emphasize that the goal of the course is to be as practical as possible, so, don't expect too much from the theory since you are going to learn only the basic aspects of each algorithm. The purpose of showing all these algorithms is for you to have a view that different algorithms can be used according to the types of applications, so you can choose the best ones according to the problem you are trying to solve.
Who this course is for:
- Beginners who are starting to learn Computer Vision and Object Tracking
- Undergraduate students who are studying subjects related to Artificial Intelligence
- Anyone interested in Artificial Intelligence or Computer Vision
- Data scientists who want to grow their portfolio

Olá! Meu nome é Jones Granatyr e já trabalho em torno de 10 anos com Inteligência Artificial (IA), inclusive fiz o meu mestrado e doutorado nessa área. Atualmente sou professor, pesquisador e fundador do portal IA Expert, um site com conteúdo específico sobre Inteligência Artificial. Desde que iniciei na Udemy criei vários cursos sobre diversos assuntos de IA, como por exemplo: Deep Learning, Machine Learning, Data Science, Redes Neurais Artificiais, Algoritmos Genéticos, Detecção e Reconhecimento Facial, Algoritmos de Busca, Mineração de Textos, Buscas em Textos, Mineração de Regras de Associação, Sistemas Especialistas e Sistemas de Recomendação. Os cursos são abordados em diversas linguagens de programação (Python, R e Java) e com várias ferramentas/tecnologias (tensorflow, keras, pandas, sklearn, opencv, dlib, weka, nltk, por exemplo). Meu principal objetivo é desmistificar a área de IA e ajudar profissionais de TI a entenderem como essa tecnologia pode ser utilizada na prática e que possam visualizar novas oportunidades de negócios.
