Automated Video Analysis of Animal Movements Using Gabor Orientation Filters

In this project,is to determining the location of animal movements using gabor filters.Video recording is a convenient technology to store raw movement data, but extracting body coordinates from video recordings is a nontrivial task. The algorithm described in this task for videos of leeches or other quasi-linear animals in a manner by visual processing system.The video frames are fed through a bank of Gabor filters, which locally detect segments of the animal at a particular orientation. The algorithm assumes that the image location with maximal filter output lies on the animal’s body and traces its shape out in both directions from there. The algorithm successfully extracted location and shape information from video clips of swimming leeches, as well as from still photographs of swimming and crawling snakes.
