ConductVision: AI Driven Video Tracking
$1490.00-10.0%The Automated Gait Analysis System combines an Open Field chamber with ConductVision AI-powered tracking software to provide non-invasive, quantitative assessment of rodent locomotor patterns. The system replaces traditional manual observation methods with computer vision technology that achieves 99% tracking accuracy for comprehensive gait parameter analysis.
The integrated system captures high-definition video at 60 fps using industrial-grade monochrome cameras, enabling precise detection of paw placement, stride characteristics, and movement dynamics. ConductVision software processes video data in real-time to extract quantitative metrics including stride length, step frequency, and gait symmetry, providing objective measurements for motor function studies and neurological assessments.
How It Works
The system employs computer vision analysis of high-speed video to automatically track rodent movement patterns within the Open Field chamber. The industrial-grade CMOS camera captures monochrome video at 1920x1080 resolution and 60 frames per second, providing sufficient temporal resolution to detect individual paw contacts and lift-offs during locomotion.
ConductVision software uses advanced AI algorithms to identify the animal's body position and limb movements throughout each video frame. The software automatically segments the body into trackable regions and calculates spatial coordinates for paw placement events. Machine learning models trained on gait biomechanics extract quantitative parameters including stride length, step width, stance duration, and swing phase timing.
The clear acrylic floor of the Open Field allows optimal contrast for paw detection, while the colored wall options (blue, black, grey, white) provide visual boundaries that enhance animal tracking accuracy. Data processing occurs in real-time, generating comprehensive gait metrics without requiring manual intervention or physical markers on the animal.

The 99% tracking accuracy and 60 fps frame rate provide precise gait measurements, while multiple configuration options accommodate diverse experimental protocols.
Practical Tips
Calibrate chamber dimensions in software before each experimental session using known reference measurements.
Why: Ensures accurate spatial measurements and accounts for any camera position changes between sessions.
Clean the clear acrylic floor thoroughly between animals to prevent tracking artifacts from residual material.
Why: Contamination or scratches on the floor surface can create false contrast points that interfere with paw detection algorithms.
Allow animals 5-10 minutes habituation in the chamber before beginning data collection.
Why: Initial exploration behavior can confound gait measurements, while habituation promotes natural locomotor patterns.
Select wall color that provides maximum contrast with your animal's coat color for optimal tracking performance.
Why: Higher contrast improves the software's ability to distinguish animal boundaries and track movement accurately.
Monitor ambient lighting conditions and minimize shadows that could interfere with tracking algorithms.
Why: Consistent lighting ensures stable tracking performance and prevents false detection of shadows as animal body parts.
If tracking accuracy decreases, check camera focus and clean lens surfaces before adjusting software parameters.
Why: Optical issues are more common causes of tracking problems than software calibration errors.
Ensure USB cable routing does not create tripping hazards around the experimental setup area.
Why: Proper cable management prevents accidents and protects equipment from damage due to accidental disconnection.

Background reading relevant to this product:
What gait parameters can the system measure automatically?
The system measures stride length, step width, stance duration, swing phase timing, gait velocity, and paw placement coordinates. ConductVision software extracts these parameters from video analysis without requiring manual scoring.
How does camera frame rate affect measurement precision?
The 60 fps capture rate provides 16.7 millisecond temporal resolution, sufficient to detect individual paw contact events and measure stance/swing phase durations in both mice and rats during normal locomotion.
Can the system detect subtle gait asymmetries?
Yes, the 99% tracking accuracy enables detection of limb-specific differences in stride parameters, making it suitable for assessing unilateral injuries or asymmetric motor deficits.
What factors affect tracking performance?
Optimal performance requires adequate lighting contrast between animal and floor, minimal shadows, and appropriate chamber wall color selection based on animal coat color.
How does this compare to manual gait scoring methods?
Automated analysis eliminates observer bias, provides quantitative rather than categorical measurements, and processes data continuously without requiring frame-by-frame manual analysis.
What data formats does the software export?
Consult product datasheet for specific data export formats and integration capabilities with statistical analysis packages.
Is the system suitable for longitudinal studies?
Yes, the non-invasive design allows repeated measurements on the same animals over time without habituation effects or handling stress that could confound longitudinal assessments.
