A demo of PREDATOR (TLD), a real-time object tracker that learns the appearance of its target and improves while it tracks. The technology was later developed commercially.
HN found it a nifty demo and cites it as a primitive but effective learning tracker that predates modern deep-learning trackers.

My friend forwarded me the video demo link for this: this video Very nifty. I'm looking forward to reading the machine learning code involved in this.
Incorrect. Recognition applications have been able to track objects across disparate frames of video even when obscures from camera view, for at least a decade now [1]. 1. this video
OK, 11 years ago then. This time with some very primitive ML: OpenTLD this video Was good enough for commercialization [LINK] . I think their tech is powering this [LINK]
