🎥 How to Use trackers

After opening trackers, follow these simple steps:

1. Load Your Video or Images
   Click the button labeled “Open File” or “Load Video.” Select the video or image series where you want to track objects.

2. Select a Tracking Algorithm
   Choose one of the tracking methods like ByteTrack, OC-SORT, or SORT from the list. Each option includes a short description.

3. Run the Tracker
   Click “Start Tracking.” The program will analyze your video and show the tracked objects in real time.

4. Save the Results
   After the tracking finishes, you can save the output. Look for the “Export” or “Save” button to create a new video or a data file with tracking info.

🔧 Settings and Customization

You can adjust a few basic settings without technical skills:

• Tracking Speed: Choose between faster processing or higher accuracy.
• Display Options: Turn on or off bounding boxes and object labels.
• Output Format: Save results in video file or CSV for further analysis.

If you want to customize beyond this, you will need programming knowledge to modify the algorithms.

❓ Troubleshooting Common Issues

• Program Won’t Start: Check if your Windows system is updated. Try running the program as Administrator.
• Video Won't Load: Make sure the video format is supported, such as MP4 or AVI.
• Tracking Errors or Jumps: Try selecting a different tracker algorithm or use a clearer video.
• Slow Performance: Close unnecessary programs and check if your PC meets system requirements.
