Was wondering how it would be possible to consistently track and keep the same id of players(specifically 2 in this scenario) through heavy occlusion. I have tried integrating deepsort, but I am unable to create a decent algorithm that can track players through occlusion.  
Specifically, I am getting problems in id switching, in which one player takes another’s while they cross paths.  
Has anyone solved this problem?
