What is Jumping Detection?
Jumping behavior in rodents serves as an indicator of escape motivation, stereotypy, hyperactivity, and motor function. In the forced swim test, jumping vs swimming vs climbing provides distinct behavioral classifications. Cage-lid jumping is a welfare-relevant stereotypy in enrichment studies.
ConductVision's extensible behavior classifier uses pose estimation features fed into a Random Forest pipeline. The system detects jumps by tracking rapid vertical displacement of body keypoints, distinguishing true jumps from rearing events based on velocity profiles and airborne duration — providing automated jump classification without manual frame-by-frame scoring.
Research Applications
Escape Behavior
- Forced swim test — jumping as an active coping strategy
- Tail suspension — escape-directed jumping attempts
- Learned helplessness — jump escape latency
Stereotypy Assessment
- Cage-lid jumping frequency as a welfare indicator
- Environmental enrichment effect on stereotypic jumping
- Drug-induced hyperlocomotion jump component
Motor Function
- Vertical motor capacity in neuromuscular disease models
- Stimulant-induced jumping — amphetamine, caffeine dose-response
- Age-related decline in jumping ability
