#dlcProTip
: building great models comes from great data. 10 highly different videos with 20 (diff) frames each is a MUCH better than 200 frames from 1 video.
Want to learn more? Read our primer on the principles of DNNs for MoCap:
#protip
: as of 2.1 we added dynamic cropping to video analysis. If you animal is a small part of the frame (e.g. openfield assays, as shown below), this will help with analysis speed!!! Docs now added for this feature:
Very nice tracking, and comes on an exciting day: 350,000 downloads!!
