# PolyTrack 🏎️💨
Real-time, multi-object tracking for polygon (instance segmentation) outputs.
PolyTrack is a lightweight, high-performance tracker that links polygon masks across video frames. Unlike bounding-box trackers (e.g., Deep SORT), PolyTrack preserves spatial geometry, making it ideal for autonomous driving, robotics, and video editing. github polytrack

Unlike consumer trackers (Kinect, Azure) that work out-of-the-box, Polytrack requires calibration. It uses ChArUco boards—chessboard + ARUco markers. The GitHub repo provides printable PDFs. You wave the board in front of your 2-6 cameras, and Polytrack calculates the extrinsics (position/rotation of each camera) and intrinsics (lens distortion) with sub-pixel accuracy. Unlike consumer trackers (Kinect
One of the tool's standout features is its visualization engine. It generates: Azure) that work out-of-the-box
GitHub Polytrack is overkill for a small startup with 3 engineers and 200 issues. Stick to the native GitHub board.
However, consider adopting Polytrack if:
