ultralytics.trackers.basetrack.TrackState

Enumeration class representing the possible states of an object being tracked.

Attributes:

NameTypeDescription
New int

State when the object is newly detected.

Tracked int

State when the object is successfully tracked in subsequent frames.

Lost int

State when the object is no longer tracked.

Removed int

State when the object is removed from tracking.

Examples:

>>> state = TrackState.New
>>> if state == TrackState.New:
>>>     print("Object is newly detected.")




ultralytics.trackers.basetrack.BaseTrack

BaseTrack()

Base class for object tracking, providing foundational attributes and methods.

Attributes:

NameTypeDescription
_count int

Class-level counter for unique track IDs.

track_id int

Unique identifier for the track.

is_activated bool

Flag indicating whether the track is currently active.

state TrackState

Current state of the track.

history OrderedDict

Ordered history of the track's states.

features list

List of features extracted from the object for tracking.

curr_feature Any

The current feature of the object being tracked.

score float

The confidence score of the tracking.

start_frame int

The frame number where tracking started.

frame_id int

The most recent frame ID processed by the track.

time_since_update int

Frames passed since the last update.

location tuple

The location of the object in the context of multi-camera tracking.

Methods:

NameDescription
end_frame

Returns the ID of the last frame where the object was tracked.

next_id

Increments and returns the next global track ID.

activate

Abstract method to activate the track.

predict

Abstract method to predict the next state of the track.

update

Abstract method to update the track with new data.

mark_lost

Marks the track as lost.

mark_removed

Marks the track as removed.

reset_id

Resets the global track ID counter.

Examples:

Initialize a new track and mark it as lost:

>>> track = BaseTrack()
>>> track.mark_lost()
>>> print(track.state)  # Output: 2 (TrackState.Lost)
