PREDATOR - Tracker that learns and improves
Why Hacker News recommends it
HN found it a nifty demo and cites it as a primitive but effective learning tracker that predates modern deep-learning trackers.
What it is
A demo of PREDATOR (TLD), a real-time object tracker that learns the appearance of its target and improves while it tracks. The technology was later developed commercially.

My friend forwarded me the video demo link for this: [this video] Very nifty. I'm looking forward to reading the machine learning code involved in this.

Incorrect. Recognition applications have been able to track objects across disparate frames of video even when obscures from camera view, for at least a decade now [1]. 1. [this video]

OK, 11 years ago then. This time with some very primitive ML: OpenTLD [this video] Was good enough for commercialization [LINK] . I think their tech is powering this [LINK]
