“Computer Vision Tools for Automatic Animal Behavior Classification in Complex Environments”
Ada Eban-Rothschild, assistant professor of psychology in LSA, and Justin Johnson, assistant professor of electrical engineering and computer science in CoE, will work to develop an accessible computer vision toolbox to automatically track multiple animals and classify their behaviors in complex social environments.
The researchers will harness state-of-the-art developments in machine learning and computer vision as well as a rich dataset of manually annotated video recordings.
