Real-time object tracking system is a technology used to track objects in real time. It can be used for security purposes or for commercial purposes. Tracking can be done for video formats and live streaming webcam.


The real-time object tracking system has many applications, such as in retail stores, airports, stadiums and other places where security is important. The system can be used to monitor customer activity in stores, track inventory and detect shoplifting. It can also be used to increase safety in public places by monitoring the movements of pedestrians or vehicles.

Deployment Information

Object tracking system created using this kit are added in this section. The solution is available as a package to download from the source code repository.

  1. Download, extract and double-click the kit installer file to install the kit.
  2. After the successful installation of the kit, press 'Y' to run the kit.
  3. To run the kit manually, press 'N' and locate the zip file 'Yolov5_DeepSort_Pytorch'.
  4. Open the command prompt in the 'Yolov5_DeepSort_Pytorch' directory and run the command 'jupyter notebook'
  5. Locate and open the 'YOLOV5_DEEPSORT_NOTEBOOK.ipynb' notebook from the Jupyter Notebook browser window.
  6. Execute cells in the notebook.


Click on the button below to download the solution and follow the deployment instructions to begin set-up. This 1-click kit has all the required dependencies and resources you may need to build your Object Tracking App.
