Key highlights:
🎞️ Frame-by-frame, low-latency tracking on commercial GPUs
🚀 >7× faster than its predecessor and >2× faster than current SOTA
🤝 Compatible with CoTracker3 weights — no retraining needed
📊 High accuracy tracking & occlusion prediction on STIR and SuPer

It reframes tissue tracking as a long-term point tracking problem, extending the CoTracker3 architecture with a set of training-free, runtime optimizations — addressing the latency-accuracy tradeoff bottleneck head-on.
