**TLDR:** A task that continuously updates the location of a selected object over time in video.

<p>Single object tracking goes beyond locating an object in one frame by maintaining a consistent estimate of its movement over time. The target may face challenges such as pose change, scale variation, partial occlusion, and background confusion. It is highly important in robotics, drone tracking, sports analytics, and surveillance. Tracking quality is built on temporal consistency and identity continuity.</p>
