Car Tracking system

Introduction

This repository is based on this repo

In this repo, users can build a real-time tracker for cars. The output of the system is a video marked by the car route. In addition, the user can define red lines to calculate how many cars pass through these lines.

Preparation

1. Clone the repository recursively:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/chiluen/CarTracking.git

2. Run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Running the code

Tracking can be run on most video formats

$ python track.py --source /path/to/video
                  --save-vid
                  --yolo_model yolo5s.pt
                  --line-distance 420,140,-1,-1 # red line(border) distance for[Up, Down, Left, Right]

After running the script, you will get the output.mp4 at ./runs/track/exp{number}, then you can use or follow Demo.ipynb to get the video in jupyter notebook.
