Tracking objects is a foundational task for video analysis. It is the engine for smart cities, autonomous driving, and building management. However, although many methods have been proposed in top-tier research conferences for the task each year, most of our production systems use half a decade old techniques. In this talk, I will explain the reason behind the gap in research and production, with intuition and experimental results. Further, I will introduce our recent works to address the issues. Our new methods can easily leverage large-scale datasets and learn to track objects in diverse scenarios. In the end, I will provide tools for industry practitioners to build trackers on their data without diving into complicated parameter tuning and expensive optimization. You will learn to make robust, simple, and performant tracking modules to supercharge your video analysis engines.
