What is ByteTrack? A Deep Dive.

SUMMARY ByteTrack is a multi-object tracking algorithm that improves on earlier methods by using all detections, not just high-confidence ones, to maintain consistent object identities across video frames. Its two-stage data association module first matches high-confidence detections to existing tracklets, then reconciles lower-confidence ones using
