Object Tracking using OpenCV (C /Python)

In this tutorial, we will learn about OpenCV tracking API that was introduced in OpenCV 3.0. We will learn how and when to use the 6 different trackers available in OpenCV 3.2 -- BOOSTING, MIL, KCF, TLD, MEDIANFLOW, and GOTURN. We will also learn the general theory behind modern tracking algorithms. This problem has been perfectly solved by my friend Boris Babenko as shown in this flawless real-time face tracker below! Jokes aside, the animation demonstrates what we want from an ideal object tracker -- speed, accuracy, and robustness to occlusion.
