TLD v1.0
========

TLD is an algorithm for tracking of unknown objects in unconstrained video streams.
The object of interest is defined by a bounding box in a single frame. TLD simulta-
neously tracks the object, learns its appearance and detects it whenever it appears
in the video. The result is a real-time tracking that typically improves over time.

INSTALATION
===========

1. Compile mex files: edit and execute "compile.m"
   Requires: OpenCV
   Tested using MS Visual Studio 2010 compiler and OpenCV2.2
2. Execute "run_TLD.m" with default parameters. The TLD should track a motorbike
   from "_input" and store the results to "_output".
