is an object representing a list of tracked bounding boxes or other objects.

Details

  • ObjectTrackingData contains information about objects that are tracked over time. Tracked objects are also known as tracklets.
  • ObjectTrackingData is returned from VideoObjectTracking and other functions.
  • For a tracked object tracked, tracked[elem] gives objects and their properties.
  • Possible values for elements elem are:
  • labelcorresponding to a specific label
    propproperty prop for given tracklets
    label->propproperties for the given label
  • A list of available labels label can be obtained using tracked["Labels"].
  • Global properties include:
  • "Labels"list of tracked labels
    "Length"number of times, frames or steps
    "TimedQ"returns True if times are present
    "Times"times for each frame, if present
    "Type"type of tracked objects
  • Possible types are "BoundingBoxes", "Points" and "LabelMatrices".
  • Time-related properties, given as a time series for each label:
  • "FirstFrame"first frame in which a label appears
    "FirstTime"first time in which a label is present
    "LastTime"last time in which a label is present
    "TimeInterval"first and last time in which a label is present
  • Properties for "BoundingBoxes" type objects include:
  • "BoundingBox"bounding boxes as Rectangle[{xmin,ymin},{xmax,ymax}] (main)
    "Dimension"dimensions given as {width,height}
    "Position"center of the bounding box given as {x,y}
    "MaxDimension"max dimension for each label given as {maxWidth,maxHeight}
    "SubVideo"video of the tracked bounding boxes for each label
  • Properties for an object of the "Points" type include:
  • "Point"points for for each time given as Point[{x,y}] (main)
    "Position"positions for each time given as {x,y}
  • Properties for an object of the "LabelMatrices" type include:
  • "Matrix"tracked label matrices (main)
    "ColorizedImage"colorized version of the label matrices
  • For timed ObjectTrackingData, the type-specific properties are returned as TimeSeries.
  • With no times present, time-related properties are equivalent to indices. Other type-specific properties are returned as lists.
  • The following operations on ObjectTrackingData are supported:
  • Normal[tracked]the main property for each type with times if available
    Dataset[tracked]a dataset of the main property for each type with times if available
    Tabular[tracked]a tabular of the main property for each type with times if available
    TimeSeries[tracked]a time series of the main property for each type if available
    EventSeries[tracked]an event series of the main property for each type if available
