A Quick Guide to Object Tracking: MDNET, GOTURN, ROLO

In today's article, we shall deep dive into video object tracking. Starting from the basics, we shall understand the need for object tracking, and then go through the challenges and algorithmic models to understand visual object tracking, finally, we shall cover the most popular deep learning based approaches to object tracking including MDNET, GOTURN, ROLO etc. This article expects that you are aware of object detection. Object tracking is the process of locating moving objects over time in videos. One can simply ask, why can't we use object detection in each frame in the whole video and we can track the object.
