SORT Tracker

A lightweight system that performs fast multi-object tracking by combining Kalman filtering with Hungarian assignment.

SORT is one of the classic systems representing the balance between simplicity and speed in multi-object tracking. Even without strong appearance modeling, it builds an effective baseline tracking pipeline using motion and box information. It remains instructive and practically useful because it provides low-latency and understandable behavior in real-time systems.
