Hello Community,
I am new in OpenCV and in tracking topic. I have a lot of experience in computer vision, but in the area of industrial applications. My current task is more a research topic from the neuroscience. The task is to track mice in the cage. The mice are active during the night, so we use IR lightning and we get gray-scaled images.There are normally from 2-5 animals in the cage at the same time. There are several problems in mice tracking:
-
- The animals have any remarkable texture.
- The animals are very similar to eachother.
- Mice are very deformable.
Mice move unpredictable and can suddenly change their moving directions.
The animals are often occluded, because they interact with eachother, or desappear from the scene, because they are hidden by other animals in the cage.
I have following questions:
- Which algorithm is most suetable for such a tracking task?
- I have only one model definded and want to track all presented obejcts in the video. Is ist possible?
I would very appreciate your help and thank you in advance!
Best regards,
Dorothea
