Video tutorials (Music: Iago Sanmartín Villar):
Easy to use, with simple interface and user help always visible.
Track videos with low resolution or changing lightning conditions.
Tracking of multi-arenas with multiple individuals.
Available in five different languages.
Featuring both dark and light themes.
Various methods of target detection allow trackings in non-homogenous backgrounds.
Possibility of manual corrections post-tracking. The tracking can also be re-run over a small part of the video with parameters different from the original ones.
Various parameters can be set by the user with direct visual feedback on the effects of these parameters.
After the tracking, the user can add elements of interest by directly drawing on the video frames. Various kinds of elements of interest are available: points, segments, borders, rectangles, ellipsoids, or polygons. The program will then calculate various parameters related to these elements (distance to a point, time at a given distance from the point, number of times a line is crossed, time spent close to the border, latency to enter an area, time spent inside this area...).
Analyses of inter-individual interactions are available. AnimalTA will compute the inter-individual distances and record all contact or proximity events with their duration. Moreover, you will obtain crossed tables resuming the proportion of time pairs of individuals spent together or the number of observed interactions. Other measures such as the average number of neighbors an individual has or the group cohesion are also recorded.
