SORT (Simple Online and Realtime Tracking)

SORT (Simple Online and Realtime Tracking) is a method used to keep track of multiple moving objects, like cars or people, in video footage. It works by quickly detecting objects frame by frame, then predicting their future positions based on their recent movements. Next, it matches these predictions with new detections to maintain consistent identities over time. SORT is designed to be fast and efficient, making it suitable for real-time applications such as surveillance or autonomous vehicles, where understanding the movement and continuity of multiple objects is essential.
