Minotaur software
Minotaur software provides a possibility of automatic tracking of movements of a rodent (a rat or a mouse) in a labyrinth with calculation of all main statistics of activity.
It is possible to process in real time or pre-recorded video files. The multiple-factor algorithm of processing of images allows to provide high precision of tracking and quality of results of the analysis.
Main features:
- Registration of a rodent, including points of the head and the basis of a tail
- Rodent's movement parameters registration :
- Average speed
- The periods of an activity and the state of "fading"
- Passed distance
- Lookings out
- Racks
- Grooming
- The detailed statistical analysis in the expert mode
- Possibility of allocation of any quantity of inspection zones with calculation of statistics on each zone and also registration of lookings out and transitions between zones
- The ability to specify the initial parameters of a rodent (color, size) to ensure more precise processing
- Possibility of processing of experiments in water labyrinths (the head and a tail are also detected)
