Abstract

The automatic tracking of animals allows a quicker and more consistent analysis of behaviour than the usual manual method for registering experimental parameters in biology. The automatic register of parameters is performed by a system that analyses a sequence of images and computes a number of descriptors that characterizes the behaviour of each target. Our objective is to create a framework for tracking in biology experiments, with multiple targets that may suffer occlusion. Besides, we intend to create a framework that can deal with low-quality videos and capable of being adapted to other classes of tracking (AU)
