Recent advances in deep learning have tremendously advanced predicting posture from videos directly, which quickly impacted neuroscience and biology more broadly. In this primer we review the budding field of motion capture with deep learning. In particular, we will discuss the principles of those novel algorithms, highlight their potential as well as pitfalls for experimentalists, and provide a glimpse into the future.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.00564v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2009.00564v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"a-primer-on-motion-capture-with-deep-learning","repo_url":"https://github.com/DeepLabCut/Primer-MotionCapture","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":{"status":"ok","spdx":"MIT"}}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"deep-learning","task_name":"Deep Learning"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=2009.00564","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
