Working with plugins

Plugins is a system of extensions to PyPTV without the need to change the GUI

1. copy the sequence_plugins.txt and tracking_plugins.txt to the working folder
2. copy the plugins/ directory to the working folder
3. modify the code so it performs instead of the default sequence or default tracker
4. Open the GUI and Plugins -> Choose , then run the rest: Init -> Sequence

Note, the specific branch plugin_remback requires installation of the pip install rembg[cpu] or pip install rembg[gpu]
