The VOT evaluation kit (legacy)

This repository contains the legacy version of the evaluation toolkit for the Visual Object Tracking (VOT) challenge. The toolkit is a set of Matlab (Octave compatible) scripts, a documentation and a set of integration examples for different programming languages. A new toolkit, written in Python 3 is avalable here.

For more detailed informations consult the documentation available in the source or a compiled version of the documentation here. You can also subscribe to the VOT mailing list to receive news about challenges and important software updates or join our support form to ask questions.
