Psychological assessments often rely on subjective measures such as self-reports and interviews. However, recent advancements in computer vision and machine learning enable the extraction of objective biomarkers from video data, such as f...
Video-based animal re-identification has the potential to outperform image-based approaches by leveraging not only spatial but also temporal features. However, progress in this field is severely hindered by the lack of publicly available datasets. To address this, our group has developed one of the ...
