External Data Workflows

Import recordings from existing setups and re-analyze with ConductVision

You do not need to re-record your experiments. Import existing video files — any standard format — and apply ConductVision analysis to legacy recordings.

The problem

Switching tracking software usually means re-recording

When evaluating new tracking software, researchers face the prospect of re-running experiments to generate new recordings. Archived video from previous tools may be in incompatible formats or require proprietary software to access.

  • Re-recording experiments wastes animals, time, and resources
  • Archived recordings may be in proprietary formats
  • No way to compare old and new analysis on the same data
The solution

Analyze your existing recordings with current models

ConductVision imports standard video formats (AVI, MP4, MKV) from any recording system. Apply the full analysis pipeline — tracking, behavior classification, zone analysis — to your archived recordings.

  • Import AVI, MP4, MKV, and other standard video formats
  • Apply current detection models to recordings from any camera
  • Side-by-side comparison with previous analysis results
Endpoints

Re-analyzed data uses the same format as live-recorded sessions.

Re-analyzed behavioral data

Re-analyzed behavioral data

Full ConductVision analysis — position, velocity, zone, behavior — applied to imported recordings. Identical output format to live sessions.

Applications

External data workflows support evaluation, transition, and archival re-analysis.

Software evaluation

Test ConductVision on your own data before purchasing

Import recordings from your current setup and compare ConductVision results against your existing analysis. Evaluate on your actual experimental conditions.

Measures
  • Accuracy comparison
  • Endpoint agreement
  • Processing speed
Platform transition

Migrate from existing tools without data loss

Re-analyze archived recordings with ConductVision during the transition period. Verify that endpoint values are consistent before fully switching.

Measures
  • Data continuity
  • Method validation
  • Backward compatibility
Archival re-analysis

Apply improved models to historical recordings

As detection and classification models improve, re-analyze older recordings to extract endpoints that were not available in the original analysis.

Measures
  • New endpoints
  • Improved accuracy
  • Historical comparison
Manual scoring replacement

Automate analysis of previously hand-scored data

Import recordings that were previously scored manually and apply automated tracking and classification. Compare against manual scores for validation.

Measures
  • Automation rate
  • Agreement with manual
  • Time savings
