+
+Tracker : Algorithm
+-------------------
+
+.. ocv:class:: Tracker
+
+Base abstract class for the long-term tracker::
+
+   class CV_EXPORTS_W Tracker : public virtual Algorithm
+   {
+     virtual ~Tracker();
+
+     bool init( const Mat& image, const Rect& boundingBox );
+
+     bool update( const Mat& image, Rect& boundingBox );
+
+     static Ptr<Tracker> create( const String& trackerType );
+
+   };
+
+Tracker::init
+-------------
+
+Initialize the tracker with a know bounding box that surrounding the target
+
+.. ocv:function:: bool Tracker::init( const Mat& image, const Rect& boundingBox )
+
+    :param image: The initial frame
+
+    :param boundingBox: The initial boundig box
+
+
+Tracker::update
+---------------
+
+Update the tracker, find the new most likely bounding box for the target
+
+.. ocv:function:: bool Tracker::update( const Mat& image, Rect& boundingBox )
+
+    :param image: The current frame
+
+    :param boundingBox: The boundig box that represent the new target location
+
+
+Tracker::create
+---------------
+
+Creates a tracker by its name.
+
+.. ocv:function::  static Ptr<Tracker> Tracker::create( const String& trackerType )
+
+   :param trackerType: Tracker type
+
+The following detector types are supported:
+
+* ``"MIL"`` -- :ocv:class:`TrackerMIL`
+
+* ``"BOOSTING"`` -- :ocv:class:`TrackerBoosting`
+
+Creating Own Tracker
+--------------------
+
+If you want create a new tracker, you should follow some simple rules.
+
+First, your tracker should be inherit from :ocv:class:`Tracker`, so you must implement two method:
+
+* Tracker: initImpl, it should be called once in the first frame, here you should initialize all structures. The second argument is the initial bounding box of the target.
+
+* Tracker:updateImpl, it should be called at the begin of in loop through video frames. Here you should overwrite the bounding box with new location.
+
+Example of creating specialized Tracker ``TrackerMIL`` : ::
+
+   class CV_EXPORTS_W TrackerMIL : public Tracker
+   {
+    public:
+     TrackerMIL( const TrackerMIL::Params &parameters = TrackerMIL::Params() );
+     virtual ~TrackerMIL();
+     ...
+
+    protected:
+     bool initImpl( const Mat& image, const Rect& boundingBox );
+     bool updateImpl( const Mat& image, Rect& boundingBox );
+     ...
+   };
+
+
+Every tracker has three component :ocv:class:`TrackerSampler`, :ocv:class:`TrackerFeatureSet` and :ocv:class:`TrackerModel`.
+The first two are instantiated from Tracker base class, instead the last component is abstract, so you must implement your TrackerModel.
+
+Finally add your tracker in the file tracking_init.cpp
+
+TrackerSampler
+..............
+
+TrackerSampler is already instantiated, but you should define the sampling algorithm and add the classes (or single class) to TrackerSampler.
+You can choose one of the ready implementation as TrackerSamplerCSC or you can implement your sampling method, in this case
+the class must inherit  :ocv:class:`TrackerSamplerAlgorithm`. Fill the samplingImpl method that writes the result in "sample" output argument.
+
+Example of creating specialized TrackerSamplerAlgorithm ``TrackerSamplerCSC`` : ::
+
+   class CV_EXPORTS_W TrackerSamplerCSC : public TrackerSamplerAlgorithm
+   {
+    public:
+     TrackerSamplerCSC( const TrackerSamplerCSC::Params &parameters = TrackerSamplerCSC::Params() );
+     ~TrackerSamplerCSC();
+     ...
+
+    protected:
+     bool samplingImpl( const Mat& image, Rect boundingBox, std::vector<Mat>& sample );
+     ...
+
+   };
+
+Example of adding TrackerSamplerAlgorithm to TrackerSampler : ::
+
+   //sampler is the TrackerSampler
+   Ptr<TrackerSamplerAlgorithm> CSCSampler = new TrackerSamplerCSC( CSCparameters );
+   if( !sampler->addTrackerSamplerAlgorithm( CSCSampler ) )
+    return false;
+
+   //or add CSC sampler with default parameters
+   //sampler->addTrackerSamplerAlgorithm( "CSC" );
+
+.. seealso::
+
+   :ocv:class:`TrackerSamplerCSC`, :ocv:class:`TrackerSamplerAlgorithm`
+
+
+TrackerFeatureSet
+.................
+
+TrackerFeatureSet is already instantiated (as first) , but you should define what kinds of features you'll use in your tracker.
+You can use multiple feature types, so you can add a ready implementation as :ocv:class:`TrackerFeatureHAAR` in your TrackerFeatureSet or develop your own implementation.
+In this case, in the computeImpl method put the code that extract the features and
+in the selection method optionally put the code for the refinement and selection of the features.
+
+Example of creating specialized TrackerFeature ``TrackerFeatureHAAR`` : ::
+
+   class CV_EXPORTS_W TrackerFeatureHAAR : public TrackerFeature
+   {
+    public:
+     TrackerFeatureHAAR( const TrackerFeatureHAAR::Params &parameters = TrackerFeatureHAAR::Params() );
+     ~TrackerFeatureHAAR();
+     void selection( Mat& response, int npoints );
+     ...
+
+    protected:
+     bool computeImpl( const std::vector<Mat>& images, Mat& response );
+     ...
+
+   };
+
+Example of adding TrackerFeature to TrackerFeatureSet : ::
+
+   //featureSet is the TrackerFeatureSet
+   Ptr<TrackerFeature> trackerFeature = new TrackerFeatureHAAR( HAARparameters );
+   featureSet->addTrackerFeature( trackerFeature );
+
+.. seealso::
+
+   :ocv:class:`TrackerFeatureHAAR`, :ocv:class:`TrackerFeatureSet`
+
+TrackerModel
+............
+
+TrackerModel is abstract, so in your implementation you must develop your TrackerModel that inherit from :ocv:class:`TrackerModel`.
+Fill the method for the estimation of the state "modelEstimationImpl", that estimates the most likely target location,
+see [AAM]_ table I (ME) for further information. Fill "modelUpdateImpl" in order to update the model, see [AAM]_ table I (MU).
+In this class you can use the :c:type:`ConfidenceMap` and :c:type:`Trajectory` to storing the model. The first represents the model on the all
+possible candidate states and the second represents the list of all estimated states.
+
+Example of creating specialized TrackerModel ``TrackerMILModel`` : ::
+
+   class TrackerMILModel : public TrackerModel
+   {
+    public:
+     TrackerMILModel( const Rect& boundingBox );
+     ~TrackerMILModel();
+     ...
+
+    protected:
+     void modelEstimationImpl( const std::vector<Mat>& responses );
+     void modelUpdateImpl();
+     ...
+
+   };
+
+And add it in your Tracker : ::
+
+   bool TrackerMIL::initImpl( const Mat& image, const Rect& boundingBox )
+   {
+     ...
+     //model is the general TrackerModel field od the general Tracker
+     model = new TrackerMILModel( boundingBox );
+     ...
+   }
+
+
+In the last step you should define the TrackerStateEstimator based on your implementation or you can use one of ready class as :ocv:class:`TrackerStateEstimatorMILBoosting`.
+It represent the statistical part of the model that estimates the most likely target state.
+
+Example of creating specialized TrackerStateEstimator ``TrackerStateEstimatorMILBoosting`` : ::
+
+   class CV_EXPORTS_W TrackerStateEstimatorMILBoosting : public TrackerStateEstimator
+   {
+    class TrackerMILTargetState : public TrackerTargetState
+    {
+    ...
+    };
+
+    public:
+     TrackerStateEstimatorMILBoosting( int nFeatures = 250 );
+     ~TrackerStateEstimatorMILBoosting();
+     ...
+
+    protected:
+     Ptr<TrackerTargetState> estimateImpl( const std::vector<ConfidenceMap>& confidenceMaps );
+     void updateImpl( std::vector<ConfidenceMap>& confidenceMaps );
+     ...
+
+   };
+
+And add it in your TrackerModel : ::
+
+   //model is the TrackerModel of your Tracker
+   Ptr<TrackerStateEstimatorMILBoosting> stateEstimator = new TrackerStateEstimatorMILBoosting( params.featureSetNumFeatures );
+   model->setTrackerStateEstimator( stateEstimator );
+
+.. seealso::
+
+   :ocv:class:`TrackerModel`, :ocv:class:`TrackerStateEstimatorMILBoosting`, :ocv:class:`TrackerTargetState`
+
+
+During this step, you should define your TrackerTargetState based on your implementation. :ocv:class:`TrackerTargetState` base class has only the bounding box (upper-left position, width and height), you can
+enrich it adding scale factor, target rotation, etc.
+
+Example of creating specialized TrackerTargetState ``TrackerMILTargetState`` : ::
+
+   class TrackerMILTargetState : public TrackerTargetState
+   {
+    public:
+     TrackerMILTargetState( const Point2f& position, int targetWidth, int targetHeight, bool foreground, const Mat& features );
+     ~TrackerMILTargetState();
+     ...
+
+    private:
+     bool isTarget;
+     Mat targetFeatures;
+     ...
+
+   };
+
+
+Try it
+......
+
+To try your tracker you can use the demo at https://github.com/lenlen/opencv/blob/tracking_api/samples/cpp/tracker.cpp.
+
+The first argument is the name of the tracker and the second is a video source.

+Tracker Algorithms
+==================
+
+.. highlight:: cpp
+
+Two algorithms will be implemented soon, the first is MIL (Multiple Instance Learning) [MIL]_ and second is Online Boosting [OLB]_.
+
+.. [MIL] B Babenko, M-H Yang, and S Belongie, Visual Tracking with Online Multiple Instance Learning, In CVPR, 2009
+
+.. [OLB] H Grabner, M Grabner, and H Bischof, Real-time tracking via on-line boosting, In Proc. BMVC, volume 1, pages 47– 56, 2006
+
+TrackerBoosting
+---------------
+
+This is a real-time object tracking based on a novel on-line version of the AdaBoost algorithm.
+The classifier uses the surrounding background as negative examples in update step to avoid the drifting problem.
+
+.. ocv:class:: TrackerBoosting
+
+Implementation of TrackerBoosting from :ocv:class:`Tracker`::
+
+   class CV_EXPORTS_W TrackerBoosting : public Tracker

+
+     void read( const FileNode& fn );
+     void write( FileStorage& fs ) const;
+
+
+   };
+
+TrackerMIL
+----------
+
+The MIL algorithm trains a classifier in an online manner to separate the object from the background. Multiple Instance Learning avoids the drift problem for a robust tracking.

+Tracking API
+============
+
+.. highlight:: cpp
+
+
+Long-term optical tracking API
+------------------------------
+Long-term optical tracking is one of most important issue for many computer vision applications in real world scenario.
+The development in this area is very fragmented and this API is an unique interface useful for plug several algorithms and compare them.
+This work is partially based on [AAM]_ and [AMVOT]_.
+
+This algorithms start from a bounding box of the target and with their internal representation they avoid the drift during the tracking.
+These long-term trackers are able to evaluate online the quality of the location of the target in the new frame, without ground truth.
+
+There are three main components: the TrackerSampler, the TrackerFeatureSet and the TrackerModel. The first component is the object that computes the patches over the frame based on the last target location.
+The TrackerFeatureSet is the class that manages the Features, is possible plug many kind of these (HAAR, HOG, LBP, Feature2D, etc).
+The last component is the internal representation of the target, it is the appearence model. It stores all state candidates and compute the trajectory (the most likely target states). The class TrackerTargetState represents a possible state of the target.
+The TrackerSampler and the TrackerFeatureSet are the visual representation of the target, instead the TrackerModel is the statistical model.
+
+A recent benchmark between these algorithms can be found in [OOT]_.
