@louis030195 hello,

Thank you for bringing this question to our attention. To track humans over long durations like months, a potential approach would be using a combination of object detection (such as our YOLO models) to identify humans in images or video frames, and then object tracking or re-identification techniques to keep track of the same individuals over time.

However, it's important to note that there are many challenges with this kind of task, especially over long durations. Lighting conditions, appearance changes, occlusions, and camera movement can all make it difficult to reliably track individuals. Additionally, privacy and ethical considerations must also be taken into account when tracking individuals over extended periods.

We recommend exploring if there are specific techniques or approaches in the computer vision research that specifically address your requirements. Tools and models like the ones provided by the Ultralytics HUB can certainly aid in this endeavor, and they should be customized and fine-tuned to suit your specific use case.
