Computer-Aided Method for Calculating Animal Configurations During Social Interactions From Two-Dimensional Coordinates of Color-Marked Body Parts

Original language description

In an experiment investigating the impact of preweaning social experience on later social behavior in pigs, we were interested in the mutual spatial positions of pigs during paired social interactions. To obtain these data, we applied a different coloredmark to the, head and back of each of 2 pigs per group and videotaped the pigs' interactions. We used the EthoVision tracking system to provide xy coordinates of the four colored marks every 0.2 sec. This paper describes the structure and functioning oftioning of a FoxPro, program designed to clean the raw data and use it to identify the mutual body positions of the 2 animals at 0.2-sec intervals. Cleaning the data was achieved by identifying invalid data points and replacing them by interpolations. Analgorithm was then applied to extract three variables from the coordinates. (1) whether the two pigs were in body contact; (2) the mutual orientation (parallel, antiparallel, or perpendicular) of the twos pigs; and (3) whether the pig in
