Object tracking is a task that involves identifying the location and class of objects, then assigning a unique ID to
that detection in video streams.
The output of tracker is the same as detection with an added object ID.
## Available Trackers
The following tracking algorithms have been implemented and can be enabled by passing `tracker=tracker_type.yaml`
* [BoT-SORT](https://github.com/NirAharon/BoT-SORT) - `botsort.yaml`
* [ByteTrack](https://github.com/ifzhang/ByteTrack) - `bytetrack.yaml`
The default tracker is BoT-SORT.
## Tracking
Use a trained YOLOv8n/YOLOv8n-seg model to run tracker on video streams.
!!! example ""
=== "Python"
```python
from ultralytics import YOLO
# Load a model
model = YOLO("yolov8n.pt") # load an official detection model
model = YOLO("yolov8n-seg.pt") # load an official segmentation model
model = YOLO("path/to/best.pt") # load a custom model
# Track with the model
results = model.track(source="https://youtu.be/Zgi9g1ksQHc", show=True)
results = model.track(source="https://youtu.be/Zgi9g1ksQHc", show=True, tracker="bytetrack.yaml")
```
=== "CLI"
```bash
yolo track model=yolov8n.pt source="https://youtu.be/Zgi9g1ksQHc" # official detection model
yolo track model=yolov8n-seg.pt source=... # official segmentation model
yolo track model=path/to/best.pt source=... # custom model
yolo track model=path/to/best.pt tracker="bytetrack.yaml" # bytetrack tracker
```
As in the above usage, we support both the detection and segmentation models for tracking and the only thing you need to
do is loading the corresponding (detection or segmentation) model.
## Configuration
### Tracking
Tracking shares the configuration with predict, i.e `conf`, `iou`, `show`. More configurations please refer
to [predict page](https://docs.ultralytics.com/modes/predict/).
!!! example ""
=== "Python"
```python
from ultralytics import YOLO
model = YOLO("yolov8n.pt")
results = model.track(source="https://youtu.be/Zgi9g1ksQHc", conf=0.3, iou=0.5, show=True)
```
=== "CLI"
```bash
yolo track model=yolov8n.pt source="https://youtu.be/Zgi9g1ksQHc" conf=0.3, iou=0.5 show
```
### Tracker
We also support using a modified tracker config file, just copy a config file i.e `custom_tracker.yaml`
from [ultralytics/tracker/cfg](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/tree/main/ultralytics/tracker/cfg) and modify
any configurations(expect the `tracker_type`) you need to.

=== "Python"
```python
from ultralytics import YOLO
model = YOLO("yolov8n.pt")
results = model.track(source="https://youtu.be/Zgi9g1ksQHc", tracker='custom_tracker.yaml')
```
=== "CLI"
```bash
yolo track model=yolov8n.pt source="https://youtu.be/Zgi9g1ksQHc" tracker='custom_tracker.yaml'
```
