> P.S. We are contacting the authors of YOLO series about the naming of YOLOv6.

You should ask _before_ publishing, not _after_.

They claim it runs faster and is more accurate than YOLOv5, yet requires 3x as much computation (GFLOPs)? Something doesn't add up here.

There is unbelievably little information about the architecture too. Unfortunately it's not in a format I can easily throw the cfg in as visualize it: https://gitlab.com/danbarry16/darknet-visual

Similari is a Rust/Python framework aimed at building sophisticated tracking systems. With Similari, you can develop highly efficient parallelized SORT, DeepSORT, and other sophisticated multiple-object tracking engines.

I'm doing a Python personal project where I'm trying to use YOLOv8 and DeepSORT to detect vehicles from a car's dash cam footage. I succeeded in using YOLOv8 to output the correct bounding boxes by processing each camera frame. However, I tried to add on DeepSORT code, but it made the detection accuracy significantly worse. I'm pretty sure I need to train my own "feature extractor" for DeepSORT to create a new .pb file. I got this information from the deep_sort GitHub link: https://github.com/nwojke/deep_sort. I tried to find resources to do this but they are pretty scarce. Has anyone had experience with this problem?

The feature model well that looks like it is at that domain you mentioned but why not instead of using this repo use the original authors repo

I was implementing the Kalman filter for bounding boxes during the last two days. As an inspiration source, I looked at the Python3 Kalman filter implementation that is used in the DeepSORT algorithm and uses NumPy and SciKit under the hood, so it's pretty efficient because all the operations are run inside FFI.

Right now, the way we're thinking about it is to turn videos into something that works with the structure of a database like MongoDB. Everything in an image or a video is an object (even the frame itself is an object with a large bounding box), and each of these objects has some attributes and can be tracked over time with some form of object tracking. Given that the objects are tracked, they can each basically be returned as a time-series of each of the attributes associated with that object.

I was wondering if I could use the same annotated data(in YOLO format) for the training of the tracker as well. I took a look at the original repo for DeepSORT, and it does mention the training using cosine metric learning, but I could not seem to understand how to replicate that for my own dataset(they show us how to do it for the MARS and Market1501 datasets).

DeepSORT is one of the best trackers https://github.com/nwojke/deep_sortIt requires an object detector tho, like YOLO https://pjreddie.com/darknet/yolo/
