Prepare and calibrate
Upload an overhead video, mark the arena corners and enter physical dimensions when distance and speed in centimeters are required.
RODENT TRACKING SOFTWARE
Rodent tracking software built for scientific review.
RodentMetrics provides browser-based rodent tracking software for single-animal behavioral recordings, with supported workflows for Open Field Test, Elevated Plus Maze, Y-Maze, Novel Object Recognition and Morris Water Maze. Calibrated experiment video becomes reviewable coordinates, trajectories, occupancy summaries and research exports; assay-specific validation and scope limitations remain visible with each result.
Best suited to single-animal rodent videos with a stable camera and consistent illumination.1234

Tracking outputs you can inspect
Configuration is explicit, outputs remain connected to the source analysis and researchers can inspect the tracking before interpretation.
Track movement
Background-subtraction-based tracking estimates the animal centroid frame by frame within the calibrated arena.
Configure spatial measures
Choose grid dimensions and operational center-zone boundaries appropriate to the study protocol.
Define activity states
Configure speed smoothing, an immobility threshold and minimum bout duration; missing detections interrupt episodes.
Review quality
Inspect detections and gaps against the video before relying on summary statistics.

Mouse Open Field analysis resources
Continue from mouse tracking software to the focused Open Field workflow and methodology guidance.
SCIENTIFIC LIMITATIONS
Validate the workflow for your protocol
Tracking quality depends on camera position, arena visibility, contrast, lighting, occlusion and configured thresholds. RodentMetrics does not infer anxiety, diagnose conditions or replace manual quality review. Report protocol choices, inspect gaps and retain independent source-data backups.
