Predator algorithm

[Amir Hirsch]

Here's an extremely interesting hybrid tracking / recognition
algorithm that people here should be familiar with:

The Predator algorithm combines tracking and recognition. It improves
the recognition database using frames of the image in the tracker. It
also use the recognition algorithm to find the image in every frame,
improving the tracker. This positive feedback makes it extremely
capable. I think it is using optical flow tracking and wavelet
recognition.

The researchers of the project said: "We have received hundreds of
emails asking for the source code ranging from practitioners,
students, researchers up to top companies. The range of proposed
projects is exciting and it shows that TLD is ready to push the
current technology forward. This shows that we have created something
"bigger" than originally expected and therefore we are going to
postpone the release of our source code until announced otherwise.
Thank you for understanding."
So no source code available for now :(

No source code but there is this

OH! excellent, guess I'll give it a try then.

The repository (https://github.com/abelsson/TLD) is not official,
contains old code and incorrect email to the author.
The official release of TLD is currently being prepared.

Hi,
Glad to write to you. You are awesome, and I will follow you on twitter.

Is the old code done by you also?

best

Thanks Kalal:

Are you looking for help organizing the open source project?

I saw that the original version was GPL,do you plan on keeping or switching this license?

Nothin' a little overnight fame can't fix, eh? :)

Congrats on your success!

For a library, IMHO it's better to use LGPL.

Good news everyone, the official release of TLD1.0 is available!!

Looks like he updated the links in his web page

Is someone working to integration the Predator algorithm with Kinect ?

In Robolab (http://robolab.unex.es/) we are very interested to combine
the Predator Algorithm with depth discretization, but we think it's
better work together in this.

Thanks!
