Real-Time Object Detection & Tracking

Real-Time Object Detection & Tracking

During my CodeAlpha internship, I built a system in Python that detects and tracks objects in videos and live webcam streams using YOLOv8 and Deep SORT.

Highlights:

  • Tracks multiple objects with unique IDs
  • Works on video files and webcam input
  • Real-time performance using Python + OpenCV

Challenges I faced:

  • Some objects were “lost” in tracking — required algorithm tweaks
  • Switching between video input types took careful testing
  • Managing dependencies for real-time performance

✨ Seeing it work live was super satisfying!

This is actually really clean for an internship project.
Did you tweak Deep SORT params or use it mostly out-of-the-box?

@[CodersMyth] Thanks! I customized Deep SORT parameters like [e.g., max_cosine_distance, max_age, etc.] to improve object tracking accuracy, especially when multiple objects cross paths or move quickly. It really helped make the tracking more stable in both video files and real-time webcam streams.
