I try to track an object using "KCF" algorithm and it go very well, but at some times that object disappears and then appears again and unfortunately the tracking box fails to track that object again. thanks.

how do you initialize the tracker's boundingbox ?

right now, this is a bit difficult.

the Tracker::update() method should return false, if it lost the object, you would call Tracker::init() again with a new box.

unfortunately, the KCF tracker does not return anything meaningful currently, it just gets stuck. you should get this fix once, it's merged.

i don't know, what object you're tracking, but most use a cascade or hogdescriptor for the initial detection, and this would be run again, to re-init the tracker.

I tried and found that Tracker::update() method doesn't return false when the object disappears but when the tracking box itself disappears.

But how can I download the modified lib ?

if you have git:

cd opencv_contrib
git pull upstream master

else download the zipped opencv_contrib master src tree
