The problem
Two-dimensional tracking loses the vertical axis
Standard top-down or side-view tracking projects three-dimensional behavior into a flat plane. Rearing is classified as a binary event (present/absent) rather than measured by height. Climbing behavior is unquantified. Jumping is detected only as a position discontinuity, losing trajectory information.
- Rearing reduced to a binary classification — height, duration profile, and postural variation are lost
- Climbing and vertical exploration in enriched environments cannot be quantified from a single camera
- Jump trajectories, including arc height and landing precision, are invisible in 2D projections
The solution
Full spatial reconstruction from calibrated cameras
ConductVision triangulates position from multiple synchronized camera views after a straightforward calibration procedure. X/Y/Z coordinates are computed at every frame, enabling quantitative measures of rearing height, vertical displacement, and three-dimensional path analysis.
- Full X/Y/Z coordinates at every frame from calibrated multi-camera arrays
- Quantitative rearing height measurement — continuous, not binary
- Three-dimensional path length, vertical displacement, and volumetric zone analysis
3D tracking evidence

Applications
Paradigms requiring vertical dimension quantification
Rearing quantification in open field
Measure rearing as a continuous variable — height, duration, and frequency — rather than a binary event. Distinguish supported (wall) from unsupported (free) rearing by spatial context.
Measures
- Rearing height
- Rearing duration
- Supported vs unsupported ratio
Stereotypy detection in 3D
Repetitive vertical movements — head bobbing, vertical circling — are captured in full 3D trajectories. Pattern analysis identifies stereotypic sequences invisible in 2D.
Measures
- Vertical repetition frequency
- Movement pattern periodicity
- 3D trajectory circularity
Climbing assays
Quantify climbing speed, height reached, and time at elevation in wire mesh or enriched cage environments. Detect progressive motor decline in longitudinal studies.
Measures
- Climbing speed
- Maximum height reached
- Time at elevation
Complex 3D arena navigation
Track navigation through multi-level or complex 3D environments. Compute volumetric exploration, level transitions, and spatial memory indices.
Measures
- Volumetric exploration
- Level transition count
- 3D spatial memory index
Compared to typical systems
How ConductVision differs
| Feature | ConductVision | Typical systems |
|---|---|---|
| Dimensions tracked | X, Y, Z — full 3D | X, Y only |
| Vertical resolution | Continuous height measurement | Binary rearing detection |
| Calibration | Guided multi-camera calibration | Single camera, no calibration |
| 3D visualization | Rotatable 3D trajectory render | Not available |
| Vertical behavior types | Rearing, climbing, jumping | Rearing only (binary) |
