locotrack

locotrack is a simple program to analyse locomotion behaviour of animals.

It can detect objects on video records, record trajectory for each object and calculate some motion statistics

Locotrack Installation

The current version is rather outdated, so installing all dependencies could be painful. Currently, I'm working on transferring application to new versions of QT and OpenCV

Installing python and nesessary packages

For Linux

Both for Windows and linux I suggest using Anaconda distribution

• Install CONDA installer for python 2.7 (32bit) from here: https://www.continuum.io/downloads#windows

• Ensure that conda is in your system path

• Create environment for python2 and install all required packages

  • conda create --name py2 python=2.7
  • conda activate py2
  • conda install numpy scipy matplotlib
  • conda install -c terradue pyqt4
  • conda install -c menpo opencv

• Install GTK library for OpenCV: sudo apt install libgtk2.0-dev

• Download Windows PyQt4 PyQt4‑4.11.4‑cp27‑cp27m‑win_amd64.whl from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu//~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyqt4

• Download Windows OpenCV 2 package from here: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#opencv

• Install PyQt4 and OpenCV via pip

• pip install opencv_python-2.4.13.2-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl
• pip install PyQt4‑4.11.4‑cp27‑cp27m‑win32.whl

##Installing Locotrack
