Assays ​

Common to all assays ​

  • One mouse per video. The pose model finds seven keypoints in every frame (Pose model & cleaning).
  • Positions are cleaned (confidence filter, gap filling, smoothing) before any measure is computed.
  • Distances and speeds are in body lengths (BL), the median nose–tail-base distance, unless a cm scale is calibrated (gait).
  • Each result lists pose coverage. When it is low, a note says so, and the measures should be read with care.
  • Every parameter can be changed after detection; see Parameters.
