Regions of interest (ROIs)

This is a very good idea. Indeed I have something like that already in the software (with track_ignore/track_include + recognition_shapes + recognition_border). However, these do not fulfill the exact use-case you are describing. What you mean would be more along the lines of "track these areas of interest separately"? Because this is kind of what the algorithm does automatically if individuals dont come close together (+ settings like max_speed are set correctly). It will put them in matching groups/cliques (display using gui_show_cliques). Of course what you say goes a bit further, say if an individual is lost it will only be reassigned within the same ROI. So maybe this is something specifically that I should add.
Also the number of individuals / ROI.

I would use polygons, btw, since that is what I am using nowadays anyway and it's the most versatile.

I will strongly consider this, as I think it would be a great addition!
Thanks for the suggestion,

That sounds good, and yes, "track these areas of interest separately" is kind of what I mean. And particularly, the "only reassigning within the ROI is the sticking point I think. Using polygons sound like a good middle way for sure, I agree.
Thanks, and I look forward to the new version!
