Deep Learning-Based Identity Preserving Labeled-Object Multi-Animal Tracking
DIPLOMAT provides a multi-animal tracking/pose-estimation interface that (1) reduces identity swaps and body part losses, and (2) simplifies correction of automated tracking errors. After pre-processing a video with a pose estimation tool (currently supporting SLEAP and DeepLabCut packages), DIPLOMAT computes a multi-animal maximum-probability trace to Track multiple animals (and their body parts); it then provides an intuitive and memory/time efficient Interact interface to edit and re-track as needed. DIPLOMAT differs from other multi-animal tracking packages by working directly off of confidence maps instead of running peak detection, allowing for more accurate tracking results.
Here we can make precise adjustments to our model's predicted points and re-run the Viterbi algorithm
