Autonomous Behavioural Tracking of Rhesus Macaques in breeding groups

In this projects I am lead developer and coordinator of a group engineers and data scientists belonging to different research groups of the Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory (CNL) of the German Primate Center.

Inspired by successful software solutions such as the Marks et al 2022 published in Nature Machine Intelligence (see figure below), with this group I am developing a stand-alone software to be able to track, identify, and extract the posture, of rhesus macaques in semi-naturalistic settings (such as large breeding colonies and electrophysiology setups for freely moving animals), with the aim of autonomously assess animals’ behaviour 24/7.

Here below a first proof of concept of the concept and the ABT (for privacy reasons only in form of frames instead of videos)
