A Markerless Pose Estimator Applicable to Limbless Animals

Abstract: The analysis of kinematics, locomotion, and spatial tasks relies on the accurate detection of animal positions and pose. Pose and position can be assessed with video analysis programs, the “trackers.” Most available trackers represent animals as single points in space (no pose information available) or use markers to build a skeletal representation of pose. Markers are either physical objects attached to the body (white balls, stickers, or paint) or they are defined in silico using recognizable body structures… Show more

“…Flies were recorded at 50 fps using a Motion Traveller500 camera (IS, Imaging Solutions GmbH, Eningen, Germany) and TroubelPix video capturing software (NorPix Inc., Montreal, QC, Canada). Subsequently, videos were tracked using ivTrace (part of ivTools https://opensource.cit-ec.de/projects/ivtools by Dr. Jens P. Lindemann; Bielefeld University) and LACE [57] . Both trackers use image differences to track the centre of mass over the time course of the experiment, determining the flies position and orientation in a 2-dimensional space.…”

“…Data capture was executed using TroublePix software from NorPix Inc., and facilitated through a MotionTraveller 500 camera (Imaging Solutions GmbH). Each fruit fly's trajectory, consisting of position and orientation in each camera frame, was meticulously tracked using LACE, an automatic animal tracking system ( Garg et al 2022 ). Locomotion speed was determined by calculating the difference vector between the centers of mass in two consecutive frames.…”
