Vision-Based Recognition of Mice Home-Cage Behaviors
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a trainable computer vision system enabling the automated analysis of complex mouse behaviors. We also collect and manually annotate a very large video database used for training and testing the system. Our system performs on par with human scoring, as measured from the ground-truth manual annotations. Our video-based software should complement existing sensor based automated approaches and help develop an adaptable, comprehensive, high-throughput, fine-grained, automated analysis of mouse behavior.

Application of Combined Local Object Based Features and Cluster Fusion for the Behaviors Recognition and Detection of Abnormal Behaviors
In this paper, we propose a novel framework for behaviors recognition and detection of certain types of abnormal behaviors, capable of achieving high detection rates on a variety of real-life scenes. The new proposed approach here is a combination of the location based methods and the object based ones. First, a novel approach is formulated to use optical flow and binary motion video as the loc...
متن کاملHome-cage activity in heterogeneous stock (HS) mice as a model of baseline activity.
Behavioral genetic work in humans indicates that clinical hyperactivity is best viewed as the extreme end of activity levels in the population. However, current animal models of hyperactivity are not studied as quantitative traits as they are either knockout models or inbred strains. Furthermore, these animal models generally demonstrate elevated locomotion in novel environments, but not in the...
متن کاملVariations in the behaviors to novel objects among five inbred strains of mice.
Novelty stimuli cause various behavioral responses, such as exploration and avoidance, and contextual variables may contribute to the behavioral outputs. Here, we tried to compare the behavioral responses to novel objects of five inbred strains of mice (C57BL/6J, 129/svJae, C3H/HeJ, BALB/cJ and DBA/2J) by using a modified novel object test where a small light-weight cube wrapped with paper was ...
متن کاملAutomated measurement of mouse social behaviors using depth sensing, video tracking, and machine learning.
A lack of automated, quantitative, and accurate assessment of social behaviors in mammalian animal models has limited progress toward understanding mechanisms underlying social interactions and their disorders such as autism. Here we present a new integrated hardware and software system that combines video tracking, depth sensing, and machine learning for automatic detection and quantification ...
متن کاملA robust automated system elucidates mouse home cage behavioral structure.
Patterns of behavior exhibited by mice in their home cages reflect the function and interaction of numerous behavioral and physiological systems. Detailed assessment of these patterns thus has the potential to provide a powerful tool for understanding basic aspects of behavioral regulation and their perturbation by disease processes. However, the capacity to identify and examine these patterns ...
