## 🔬 Algorithms

### 1. YOLO-World Detection

- **Architecture**: Transformer-based open-vocabulary detector
- **Input**: 640×640 RGB image
- **Output**: Bounding boxes + text embeddings
- **Optimization**: BPU quantization (INT8)

### 2. ByteTrack Tracking

```
Algorithm Flow:
1. Kalman Filter Prediction
   - State: [x, y, vx, vy]
   - Process noise: Q
   - Measurement: Detection bbox

2. Data Association
   - Cost matrix: IoU between tracks and detections
   - Hungarian algorithm for optimal matching
   - Threshold: IoU > 0.3

3. Track Management
   - New tracks: Unmatched detections
   - Lost tracks: No match for max_age frames
   - Confirmed tracks: Matched for min_hits frames
```

### 3. Speed Calculation

```
Velocity = √((Δx)² + (Δy)²) × FPS / pixels_per_cm

Direction = arctan2(Δy, Δx) × 180/π

Acceleration = ΔVelocity / ΔTime
```
