The Animal Tracking from Camera Traps is a Computer Vision project that combines Multi-object association and Region crossing alerts, built with Trackers (CSRT, KCF). The project follows a clean, modular pipeline where image input, processing, and presentation stay separated, making it easy to test, extend, and present. It showcases practical Computer Vision techniques while producing a working, demo-ready application.
Manual visual inspection and analysis of this problem is slow, error-prone, and impossible to scale. Without a Computer Vision approach built on Region crossing alerts and Trackers (CSRT, KCF), users cannot automatically detect, classify, or track visual patterns, and there is no reliable way to evaluate accuracy.
This project applies Computer Vision techniques through Multi-object association, orchestrated with Trackers (CSRT, KCF) and Region crossing alerts. The pipeline is designed for accuracy and speed, with preprocessing, model inference, and clear evaluation. It produces consistent, reusable results and can be adapted to related vision tasks with minimal changes.

Modular vision pipeline around Multi-object association and Region crossing alerts
Configurable model and preprocessing settings
Clear logging, metrics, and error handling
Clean interface for viewing results
Reusable components for related vision tasks
Real-time or batch inference support
The project is layered: the input layer loads and preprocesses images through Multi-object association; the inference layer runs the vision model with Trackers (CSRT, KCF) and Region crossing alerts; and the output layer formats and presents results via Video frame reader. Shared configuration, logging, and evaluation modules support all layers, keeping the system robust and easy to extend.
