Hello, I am rather desperately looking for a piece of software to use in my research.
I have some overhead video(avi format) of mice swimming in a pool looking for a platform. Because it is overhead the tracking is essentially 2-D and the contrast on the videos is good (white colored water and black mice). I am looking for some software that will 'track' the mice and generate some information about either:
a) There position w/r to some arbatrary coor. system
b) There x and y velocity vectors over the time course of the video
I don't have a ton of money so freeware or demoware would be best. I could probably spend a few hundred dollars but nothing more. If anyone has any ideas or programs in mind it would be most appreciated.
I have over 10 GB's of video so doing it by hand would take a very long time even if I reduced the amount of frames in the video substantially
