AlphaTracker

AlphaTracker is a multi-animal tracking and behavioral analysis tool which incorporates multi-animal tracking, pose estimation and unsupervised behavioral clustering to empower system neuroscience research. Alphatracker achieves the state-of-art accuracy of multi-animal tracking which lays the foundation for stringent biological studies. Moreover, the minimum requirement for hardware (regular webcams) and efficient training procedure allows readily adoption by most neuroscience labs. We also provide simple GUI for most procedure in AlphaTracker so as to facilitate research for non-cs labmates and students.
