tracklet
A tracklet is a short, contiguous segment of a trajectory, typically representing the observed positions of an object over a limited period of time. In the context of object tracking, a longer trajectory is often broken down into multiple tracklets. This fragmentation can occur due to various reasons, such as temporary occlusions, missed detections, or the use of different tracking algorithms over different time intervals. The primary goal in many tracking systems is to associate these individual tracklets together to form a complete, consistent trajectory for each object.
The process of associating tracklets is known as tracklet association or tracklet linking. This involves comparing
Tracklets are a fundamental concept in multi-object tracking, especially in scenarios with many objects, complex interactions,
