Image for Track Initialization

Track Initialization

Track initialization is the process of starting a new tracking "entity" for an object detected in a sequence of images or sensor data. When an object appears for the first time, the system creates a new track, assigning it an identity, location, and other characteristics. This process involves confirming that the detected object is real and distinguishing it from noise or false alarms. Proper initialization is crucial for accurate tracking over time, enabling the system to monitor the object’s movements, predict future positions, and maintain reliable identification as it moves through the scene.
