+# OrbitSight detector + tracker animations
+
+These GIFs use real ChallengeON recordings and the exact promoted CPU-student top-one cache. Red is the raw detector proposal, cyan is the Kalman-smoothed emitted box, yellow dashed is human ground truth, and the colored trails show recent centers. Ground truth is used only for annotation and IoU display.
