            WHAT THIS OBJECT REPRESENTS
                This is a tool for tracking moving objects in a video stream.  You give it
                the bounding box of an object in the first frame and it attempts to track the
                object in the box from frame to frame.  

                This tool is an implementation of the method described in the following paper:
                    Danelljan, Martin, et al. "Accurate scale estimation for robust visual
                    tracking." Proceedings of the British Machine Vision Conference BMVC. 2014.
