🚀 Features

Templates Supported

The Sinapsis CoTracker module offers a set of templates for multi-object tracking and visualization using the CoTracker model. These templates enable users to perform both online and offline tracking, process video inputs, and visualize tracking results on video frames. The templates in this package include functionality for:

• CoTrackerOffline: Handles offline multi-object tracking for short videos. It loads the entire video into memory for processing and is the simplest method for offline tasks.
• CoTrackerOfflineLarge: Provides offline tracking for long videos by using a memory-efficient, incremental engine.
• CoTrackerOnline: Supports real-time object tracking with advanced grid query and support grid features.
• CoTrackerVisualizer: Visualizes tracking results with customizable trace, line width, and visualization modes.

[!TIP] Use CLI command sinapsis info --all-template-names to show a list with all the available Template names installed with Sinapsis CoTracker.

[!TIP] Use CLI command sinapsis info --example-template-config TEMPLATE_NAME to produce an example Agent config for the Template specified in TEMPLATE_NAME.

For example, for CoTrackerOffline use sinapsis info --example-template-config CoTrackerOffline to produce the following example config:
