Multi-object tracking (MOT) links detections over time so 'car 7' stays 'car 7' as it moves and is briefly hidden. It is what lets a system count unique people, measure dwell time, or trace a path, rather than re-detecting strangers each frame.
Definition
Following many objects across video frames while keeping a stable ID on each, even through occlusion. Turns per-frame detections into trajectories.
