can i use ARC to track multiple red objects and to report the location of each one
they are not custom colors they are red

is there a way to do it easily
I don't have my ping hooked up yet so I can't test this theory. (next few days I swear it)
However, the question still remains: what is the goal? Because I do not understand how multiple object tracking at the same time can integrate with hardware.
Let me be more specific. If your robot is tracking a red ball, how do you expect it to behave with two red balls? Are there two heads on your robot? What is the robot doing with the second ball?
My question is what are you attempting to have your robot do with more than two objects at a time. This question is specifically relevant considering no one has pushed the limits of the existing camera control. Asking for more features when the existing features haven't been utilized is skipping a few important steps
To correct your example of the face... The software currently selects the closest (largest) face. This means that face is in front of the other face. This means the face in the back is far away. A far away face means it will move behind the face in the front if it tried to move. At least, if it tried to move enough to get a reaction from the robot. So a face behind a person cannot be tracked because the robot camera can't see it.
I think it's best if you picture yourself as a human and pretend you're a robot. What exactly does a human do with tracking two objects? We are only able to track one focal point at a time - that's not a limitation - because were good at it.
Using ControlCommand a you can already specify which object tracking method to use. You can also add multiple colors. There are more than enough features to fulfill your interactive requirements
Until my innovative little brain can find an appropriate and simplified use for multi object tracking, ARC will remain human-like by limiting to one object (focal point) at a time
I'm still trying to dial in the tracking features. They work, kinda. Well that's not fair, they work. I just, am not very good at working with them. Any tips anyone may have are welcome.
