For years, schools in the United States and United Kingdom have used tracking (called streaming in United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and South Africa) as a way of dividing students into different “tracksâ€, separating children into different classes according to their academic ability
- Tracking, in computer graphics, a vital part of match moving In cinematography, match moving is a visual-effects technique that allows the insertion of computer graphics into live-action footage with correct position, scale, orientation, and motion relative to the photographed objects in the shot. The term is used loosely to refer to several different ways of extracting motion information from a motion
- Tracking, in portfolio management, matching or comparing with a stock market index A stock market index is a method of measuring a section of the stock market. Many indices are cited by news or financial services firms and are used as benchmarks, to measure the performance of portfolios such as mutual funds
- Tracking, a subject of dead reckoning Dead reckoning is the process of estimating one's current position based upon a previously determined position, or fix, and advancing that position based upon known or estimated speeds over elapsed time, and course. While traditional methods of dead reckoning are no longer considered primary means of navigation, modern inertial navigation systems,, concerning setting up a track on other objects momentarily viewed from the observer's own location
- Tracking (typography) In typography, letter-spacing, also called tracking, refers to the amount of space between a group of letters to affect density in a line or block of text, the process of uniformly increasing or decreasing the space between all letters in a block of text
- Tracking (space flight), tracking satellites In the context of spaceflight, a satellite is an object which has been placed into orbit by human endeavor. Such objects are sometimes called artificial satellites to distinguish them from natural satellites such as the Moon from a tracking station (see: Satellite tracker)
- Tracking (commercial airline flight) With development of cell phones and other small PDA devices, flight trackers have become a must-have for people who are concerned about arrivals and departures of airplanes. Indeed, modern trackers can track airlines virtually all around the world and inform concerned parties via such commonplace mediums as SMS, the means of tracking civil airline flights in realtime.
- Tracking (hunting) Tracking in hunting and ecology is the science and art of observing animal tracks and other signs, with the goal of gaining understanding of the landscape and the animal being tracked . A further goal of tracking is the deeper understanding of the systems and patterns that make up the environment surrounding and incorporating the tracker. The, the science and art of learning about a place via animal trails and other environmental evidence
- Go-Onto-Target (GOT) guidance systems Missile guidance refers to a variety of methods of guiding a missile or a guided bomb to its intended target. The missile's target accuracy is a critical factor for its effectiveness. Guidance systems improve missile accuracy by improving its "Single Shot Kill Probability"
- Tracking (Scouting) Tracking is a Scouting activity which involves laying a trail or following a trail laid by others. A trail is a series of signs, largely comprising directions, which are laid on the ground. Tracking also involves interpreting bird language to better understand relevant changes in baseline and if the scouted party is nearby. Native Americans were, a Scouting activity
- Tracking, in automotive engineering, a synonym for Toe In automotive engineering, toe is the symmetric angle that each wheel makes with the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, as a function of static geometry, and kinematic and compliant effects. This can be contrasted with steer, which is the antisymmetric angle, i.e. both wheels point to the left or right, in parallel . Positive toe, or toe in, is the
- Tracking (electrical) Within the field of electrical engineering, treeing is an electrical pre-breakdown phenomenon. It is a damaging process due to partial discharges and progresses through the stressed dielectric insulation, whose path resembles the form of a tree, the formation of partially conductive paths across the surface of an electrical insulator that degrade, or destroy, its insulating capabilities
- Tracking shot In motion picture terminology, a tracking shot is a segment in which the camera is mounted on a wheeled platform that is pushed on rails while the picture is being taken. One may dolly in on a stationary subject for emphasis, or dolly out, or dolly beside a moving subject (an action known as "dollying with"), a filming technique also known as a dolly shot
- Tracking (radar) A radar tracker is a component of a radar system, or an associated command and control system, that associates consecutive radar observations of the same target into tracks. It is particularly useful when the radar system is reporting data from several different targets or when it is necessary to combine the data from several different radars or - the association of individual detections from a radar system
In logistics
- Track & Trace concerns a process starting with determining the current and past locations and other status of property in transit. Tracking and tracing is the completion of this process with uniformly building a track of such property that are forwarded to, processed for, applied in or disposed of usage.

- Tracking (dog) Tracking is a technique in which dogs are trained to locate certain objects, such as a downed bird, using the object's scent. Many bird and rabbit hunters train their dogs in tracking. The scent hounds are generally regarded as having the best tracking abilities among all dog breeds, the act of a dog following a scent trail
- Tracking trial A Tracking trial is an event to encourage dogs to make use of their strongest facility, the ability to follow a scent trail. The competition emulates the finding of a lost person or article in a situation where the performance of the dog can be fairly assessed. Because of this, the tracks laid are straight-forward, not the wanderings that may, a dog competition
In technology:
- Optical motion tracking
- Video tracking Video tracking is the process of locating a moving object in time using a camera. An algorithm analyses the video frames and outputs the location of moving targets within the video frame, finding the location of an object of the scene on each frame of the sequence, when processing a video sequence
- Tracking, for VCRs The videocassette recorder , is a type of video tape recorder that uses removable videotape cassettes containing magnetic tape to record audio and video from a television broadcast so it can be played back later. Most VCRs have their own tuner (for direct TV reception) and a programmable timer (for unattended recording of a certain channel at a, the alignment of the magnetic tape with respect to the reading head
- Composing music with tracker Tracker is the generic term for a class of music sequencer software which, in its purest form, allow the user to arrange sound samples stepwise on a timeline across several monophonic channels. A tracker's interface is primarily numeric; notes are entered via the alphanumeric keys of the computer keyboard, while parameters, effects and so forth software
