Abstract
Rodent behavior analysis is a extremely important
task for pre-clinical testing of new drugs and neurodegenerative
diseases. Some of the underlying mechanisms
regulating natural interactions among multiple
animals require long term interaction, which implies
the usage of automated, objective and systematic video
analysis system. However, current video analysis systems
are limited by idiosyncratic features of the 2D
video technology, and requiring a great number of parameters.
This early stage work focuses on the first
step of a depth-based tracking system, offering some
methods to robustly perform rodent segmentation in a
controlled environment, fully exploiting its geometrical
properties, providing a qualitative overview of the results
attained so far.
