http://www.gnebehay.com/cmt (OpenTLD) Clustering of Static-Adaptive Correspondences for Deformable Object Tracking (CMT) is an award-winning object tracking algorithm, initially published under the name Consensus-based Tracking and Matching of Keypoints for Object Tracking at the Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision 2014, where it received the Best Paper Award. A more detailed paper was published at the Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition 2015. CMT is able to track a wide variety of object classes in a multitude of scenes without the need of adapting the algorithm to the concrete scenario in any way. Experiments have shown that CMT is able to achieve excellent results on a dataset that is as large as 77 sequences. A C++ implementation (CppMT) is freely available under the BSD license, meaning that you can basically do with the code whatever you want. Additionally, the original Python research code is still available for reference.

OpenTLD can lock on and track an intruder allowing a mobile robot to shoot with air gun. See http://visionlabs.cl/blog/?p=5 or

Well, luckily for you, I've been working on just that! OpenCV's camera input doesn't work with a lot of cameras, so I've modified Georg's version to get the video from videoInput instead. You can find the code here: https://github.com/jmfs/OpenTLD/tree/gnebehay_videoinput. Instructions are the same, except that you may have to edit the opentld project's properties, since I haven't figured out how to make that work via CMake. In the Linker/input tab, put "atlthunk.lib;libcmt.lib" into "Ignore specific default libraries". -- João Silva

For the locally saved video, the support is there, but OpenCV may not support the video codecs. Check the readme for the appropriate command line options and try it out. As for the streaming, you'd have to modify the code to do it. The code's pretty modular, so pretty much everything you need to modify is in imAcq.cpp and imAcq.h. -- João Silva

I got the purely C++ working (without MATLAB) from the https://github.com/gnebehay/OpenTLD Just grab all the code, then get it works with Visual Studio 2010: Below is the steps : 1)Download the code from link : https://github.com/gnebehay/OpenTLD/zipball/master 2)Then Download the Open CV 2.2 and CMake 2.8 3)When installing the Open CV2.2 make sure with "Add OpenCV to the system PATH for all users" in Install Options and also for the CMake in the Install Options. 4)After you have installed the CMake, Click the CMake and then setting the path: >Where is the source code : (Choose the folder that you have download from the https://github.com/gnebehay/OpenTLD/zipball/master) > Where to build the binaries : (Make the build folder inside the folder) > Configure to Visual Studio 2010, then Generate 5)After you'v done the CMake, select the folder then choose OPENTLD.sln (solution file) which makes you open the Visual Studio 2010 automatically. 6)Click 'View' then choose 'Property Manager' 7) Then click tld > Release|Win32 > Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user. 8) Then You do right click on it, choose Properties 9) In Common Properties, choose VC++ Directories   Include directories : C:\Program Files\OpenCV2.2\include; C: \Program Files\OpenCV2.2\include\opencv; C:\Program Files \OpenCV2.2\include\open2    Library Directories :C:\Program Files\OpenCV2.2\lib 10) Then Ok 11) Then click 'View' to choose the 'Solution Explorer', then build the solution 12) Don't click F5, scroll the option, make sure you choose 'Release' 13) Then F5 14) Will not run the program but succeed, no failed 15) Close the Visual Studio 2010 16) Then open the folder build > src > Release > tld.exe Hope you can follow this steps carefully Thank you Library Directories : On Apr 13, 8:03 pm, sameer  wrote:
