Easy to use multi object tracking package based on colors 🎨

pip install color-tracker

pip install git+https://github.com/gaborvecsei/Color-Tracker.git

• Check out the examples folder, or go straight to the sample tracking app which is an extended version of the script below. This script tracks the red-ish objects, if you'd like to track another color, then start with the hsv_color_detector.py script

  $ python examples/tracking.py --help
  
  
  usage: tracking.py [-h] [-low LOW LOW LOW] [-high HIGH HIGH HIGH]
                 [-c CONTOUR_AREA] [-v]
  
  optional arguments:
    -h, --help            show this help message and exit
    -low LOW LOW LOW, --low LOW LOW LOW
                          Lower value for the HSV range. Default = 155, 103, 82
    -high HIGH HIGH HIGH, --high HIGH HIGH HIGH
                          Higher value for the HSV range. Default = 178, 255,
                          255
    -c CONTOUR_AREA, --contour-area CONTOUR_AREA
                          Minimum object contour area. This controls how small
                          objects should be detected. Default = 2500
    -v, --verbose

• Simple script:

  import cv2
  import color_tracker
  
  
  def tracker_callback(t: color_tracker.ColorTracker):
      cv2.imshow("debug", t.debug_frame)
      cv2.waitKey(1)
  
  
  tracker = color_tracker.ColorTracker(max_nb_of_objects=1, max_nb_of_points=20, debug=True)
  tracker.set_tracking_callback(tracker_callback)
  
  with color_tracker.WebCamera() as cam:
      # Define your custom Lower and Upper HSV values
      tracker.track(cam, [155, 103, 82], [178, 255, 255], max_skipped_frames=24)

This is a tool which you can use to easily determine the necessary HSV color values and kernel sizes for you app

You can find the HSV Color Detector code here

python examples/hsv_color_detector.py

If you feel like it is a useful package and it saved you time and effor, then you can donate a coffe for me, so I can keep on staying awake for days 😃
