trackforge 0.1.4

A unified, high-performance computer vision tracking library.

Trackforge

[!IMPORTANT] This project is currently under active development. APIs and features are subject to change.

Trackforge is a unified, high-performance computer vision tracking library, implemented in Rust and exposed as a Python package. It provides state-of-the-art tracking algorithms like ByteTrack, optimized for speed and ease of use in both Rust and Python environments.

Features

• 🚀 High Performance: Native Rust implementation for maximum speed and memory safety.
• 🐍 Python Bindings: Seamless integration with the Python ecosystem using pyo3.
• 🛠 Unified API: Consistent interface for tracking tasks across both languages.
• 📸 ByteTrack: Robust multi-object tracking using Kalman filters and IoU matching.

Installation

Python

pip install trackforge

(Note: Released on PyPI soon. For now, build from source).

Rust

Add trackforge to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
trackforge = "0.1.1" # Check crates.io for latest version

Usage

🐍 Python

import trackforge

# Initialize ByteTrack
# track_thresh: High confidence detection threshold (e.g., 0.5)
# track_buffer: Frames to keep lost tracks alive (e.g., 30)
# match_thresh: IoU matching threshold (e.g., 0.8)
# det_thresh: Initialization threshold (e.g., 0.6)
tracker = trackforge.ByteTrack(0.5, 30, 0.8, 0.6)

# Detections: List of (TLWH_Box, Score, ClassID)
detections = [
    ([100.0, 100.0, 50.0, 100.0], 0.9, 0),
    ([200.0, 200.0, 60.0, 120.0], 0.85, 0)
]

# Update tracker
tracks = tracker.update(detections)

for t in tracks:
    # t is (track_id, tlwh_box, score, class_id)
    print(f"ID: {t[0]}, Box: {t[1]}")

🦀 Rust

use trackforge::trackers::byte_track::ByteTrack;

fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {
    // Initialize ByteTrack
    let mut tracker = ByteTrack::new(0.5, 30, 0.8, 0.6);

    // Detections: Vec<([f32; 4], f32, i64)>
    let detections = vec![
        ([100.0, 100.0, 50.0, 100.0], 0.9, 0),
    ];

    // Update
    let tracks = tracker.update(detections);

    for t in tracks {
        println!("ID: {}, Box: {:?}", t.track_id, t.tlwh);
    }
    Ok(())
}
