Tracking flies in a video in the dark

[akshitasax]

Hi,

I want to track the movement of flies at night. I recorded a 12 hour long video of 2 flies at night, and used SLEAP to train a model after labeling 20 frames. I tried predicting on 20 random frames, and this was the result for almost all the frames that were predicted on (screenshot below). Is this a problem of the video quality or lighting condition (I can try to introduce infrared lighting), or is there a way to reliably track this in SLEAP as it is?

these were the settings used for the training pipeline

Thank you,
Akshita

(I already have a discussion thread open for a different issue but thought I'd make this a new topic)

Hi @akshitasax,

Those are definitely not the type of predictions we want to see.

Can you run the sleap-inspect command on your project and paste the output? Also do you mind sending a screenshot of the videos tab (in case this is an issue related to the video backend used).

Thanks,
Liezl
