Abstract

Video techniques are broadly used in the field of behaviour sciences, thus there is an increasing interest in softwares that simplify the processing of recordings. One of the difficulties is that observed objects can exhibit a wide variety of behaviours that cannot usually be recognized and recorded automatically, therefore the video has to be watched and analysed manually by humans. We have developed a simple, open-source and free command-line video analysis software, that helps the processing of observation sessions from recordings and helps to verify the processed events.
