        ## DeepLabCut 
        
        DeepLabCut is a toolbox for markerless pose estimation of animals performing various tasks, like [trail tracking](https://vnmurthylab.org/), [reaching in mice](http://www.mousemotorlab.org/) and various Drosophila behaviors during egg-laying (see [Mathis et al.](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41593-018-0209-y) for details). There is, however, nothing specific that makes the toolbox only applicable to these tasks and/or species. The toolbox has also already been successfully applied (by us and others) to [rats](http://www.mousemotorlab.org/deeplabcut), humans, various fish species, bacteria, leeches, various robots, cheetahs, [mouse whiskers](http://www.mousemotorlab.org/deeplabcut) and [race horses](http://www.mousemotorlab.org/deeplabcut). This work utilizes the feature detectors (ResNets + readout layers) of one of the state-of-the-art algorithms for human pose estimation by Insafutdinov et al., called DeeperCut, which inspired the name for our toolbox (see references below).
        
        VERSION 2.0: This is the **python package** of [DeepLabCut](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41593-018-0209-y).
        This package includes graphical user interfaces to label your data, and take you from data set creation to automatic behavioral analysis. It also introduces an active learning framework to efficiently use DeepLabCut on large experimental projects. 
        
        VERSION 1.0: The initial, Nature Neuroscience version of **DeepLabCut** can be found in the history of git, or the latest version here: https://github.com/AlexEMG/DeepLabCut/releases/tag/1.11

        # [DEMO the code](/examples) 
        We provide several Jupyter Notebooks: one that walks you through a demo dataset to test your installation, and another Notebook to run DeepLabCut from the begining on your own data. We also show you how to use the code in Docker, and on Google Colab.

        # Why using DeepLabCut?
        
        - Due to transfer learning it requires **little training data** for multiple, challenging behaviors (see [Mathis et al.](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41593-018-0209-y) for details).

        <img src="docs/images/ErrorvsTrainingsetSize.png" width="60%">
        </p>
        
        - Video anlysis is fast (see [Mathis/Warren](https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2018/10/30/457242) for details)
        <p align="center">
        <img src="docs/images/inferencespeed.png" width="70%">
        </p>
        
        - The feature detectors are robust to video compression (see [Mathis/Warren](https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2018/10/30/457242) for details)
        <p align="center">
        <img src="docs/images/compressionrobustness.png" width="70%">
        </p>
        
        - It allows 3D pose estimation with a single network and camera (see [Mathis/Warren](https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2018/10/30/457242) for details)

        [Alexander Mathis](https://github.com/AlexEMG), [Tanmay Nath](http://www.mousemotorlab.org/team), [Mackenzie Mathis](https://github.com/MMathisLab), and especially the authors of DeeperCut authors for the feature detector code. The feature detector code is based on Eldar Insafutdinov's TensorFlow implementation of [DeeperCut](https://github.com/eldar/pose-tensorflow). DeepLabCut is an open-source tool and has benefited from suggestions and edits by many individuals including Richard Warren, Ronny Eichler, Jonas Rauber, Hao Wu, Taiga Abe, and Jonny Saunders. In particular, the authors thank Ronny Eichler for input on the modularized version. We are also grateful to all the beta testers! 
        
        This is an actively developed package and we welcome community development and involvement! If you would like to join the [DeepLabCut Slack group](https://deeplabcut.slack.com), please drop us a note to be invited by emailing: mackenzie@post.harvard.edu
