How to delete an object from Multitracker ?

I am working with the multitracker to track some objects.

std::string trackingAlg = "KCF";
MultiTracker trackers(trackingAlg);

I am using background subtraction technique to find the object contours and track the objects using

trackers.update(frame);

In the process, I would like to delete some objects from the trackers or update the bounding box of some objects.

I have tried something like this (as shown below) to update the object contours, but was not successful

 trackers.objects[i] = newBound_box[i];

Could anyone suggest how to

delete objects from trackers
update the bounding box (not by trackers.update(frame) but by manual bounding box values) ?

Thank you for your time!

sadly, you just can't delete or reassign any objects from the multitracker, also the KCF tracker currently never returns false , if it missed the object .

all you can do is, release() the MultiTracker instance, and start building it from scratch.

idk, but maybe having a vector<Ptr<Tracker>> instead of the MultiTracker instance would at least allow you to check single trackers for miss (return false on update()) or re-initialize them with a Rect of your choice (init())

HI @banyar, I had a look at the Thom's way from stackoverflow link. I'm worried if creating a new instance would lead to memory leak. Moreover, I couldn't use "delete tracker". For some reasin it crashes.
