Automatic

Automatic mode is the default detection mode and requires no adjustment.

This mode generally gives good results. However, if the detection conditions are difficult (low contrast between the animal and the background of the image, variation in brightness, parasitic shadows, etc.) it is sometimes possible to obtain a better detection rate with a manual mode correctly set.

Automatic mode needs a reference image to detect the animal. Normally, this image is created automatically by Ethotrack at the start of the analysis. In some cases, it may happen that Ethotrack fails to create the reference image (especially if the animal moves very little). In this case, Ethotrack will offer you to use the reference image creation wizard to create an image manually.

If the detection rate obtained with the automatically created image is too low, you can help Ethotrack by defining the reference image yourself using the reference image creation wizar d .
