Track object off focus in video

Hi everyone,

I use the MATLAB point tracker to track an object in a video (well, one specific point of the object). I detected points of interest by using detectMinEigenFeatures(). Everything works great so far. The video I am currently processing has its object of interest in an area off focus. Thus, the tracking is really difficult. Do you have any advice or suggesting on how to improve tracking of blurry objects? My intitial idea was to mask the object. However, with the object being off focus, masking was difficult too.

Appreciate any advice!! Thank you.

I'm attaching a tracking demo. Adapt as needed. Attach your movie if you need more help.
