  • Publication number: 20240296693
    Abstract: A challenge is to provide an art to identify mice as individuals from captured images of one or more mice that are doing activity in a predetermined activity range. An image processing device includes an image acquisition unit, a part extraction unit, and an individual identification unit. The image acquisition unit acquires a captured video of a state in which one or more animals are doing activity in a predetermined activity range. The part extraction unit extracts multiple parts of the body of each of the one or more animals from each of unit images included in the video. The individual identification unit analyzes the parts extracted from the unit images by the part extraction unit in a time-series manner and identifies the one or more animals as individuals in each of the unit images on the basis of the analysis results. Thus, the challenge is solved.
