ByteTrack improves tracking by also using weak detections that most trackers discard, which helps in crowds and occlusion. It is simple, quick, and accurate, making it a frequent first choice when scenes are busy and latency matters.

ByteTrack keeps low-confidence detections that other trackers drop, which helps in crowds but needs tuning to avoid ID switches. Volume 6 covers detection and tracking in detail, with segmentation, pose and deployment topologies, so you can choose and tune ByteTrack or another tracker for your scenes. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
