multi object tracking in matlab

To perform multi-object tracking in MATLAB, you can use the Kalman filter algorithm to estimate the position of the tracked objects over time. Here's an example code snippet that shows how to perform multi-object tracking using a Kalman filter:

main.m
% Load video file
videoFile = 'example.avi';
videoReader = VideoReader(videoFile);
numFrames = videoReader.NumberOfFrames;

% Initialize Kalman filter
numTargets = 2;
kalmanFilter = cell(1, numTargets);
initialPositions = [100 100; 200 200];
for i = 1:numTargets
    kalmanFilter{i} = configureKalmanFilter('ConstantVelocity', ...
        initialPositions(i,:), [1 1]*1e5, [25, 10], 25);
end

% Track objects in video frames
for i = 1:numFrames
    frame = read(videoReader, i);
    [centroids, bboxes] = detectObjects(frame); % Implement your own object detection function
    numDetections = size(centroids, 1);
    for j = 1:numTargets
        if (j <= numDetections)
            kalmanFilter{j}.correct(centroids(j,:));
            predictedPosition = predict(kalmanFilter{j});
            bboxes(j, :) = [predictedPosition - [w h]/2, w, h];
        end
    end
    % Display tracked objects in video frame
    frameWithDetections = insertObjectAnnotation(frame, 'rectangle', ...
        bboxes, repmat('Object', numTargets, 1));
    imshow(frameWithDetections);
    drawnow;
end

In this code snippet, we first initialize a Kalman filter for each of the two tracked objects, using their initial positions. Then, for each frame of the input video, we perform object detection to obtain the centroids and bounding boxes of the detected objects. We use the Kalman filter to estimate the position of each tracked object, and update the predicted position accordingly. Finally, we display the tracked objects in the output video frame using the bounding boxes. Note that the detectObjects function should be implemented according to your own requirements and may use other image processing and computer vision techniques.
