In recent years, with the recent release of hybrid camera combining RGB camera and depth sensors, the accuracy of motion analysis has greatly improved. On the other hand, research areas such as ethology, or study of animal behavior, has great demand for automatic image analysis and detection using video cameras. For this research, we developed an automatic tracking system for small animals using a hybrid camera and verified the effectiveness of the developed system by experiment using gerbils.
