**POSE** : behavioral tracking using Python and OpenCV
=======================================
**POSE** (**P**ython **O**pen **S**ource **E**thology) is a Python package for tracking the behavior of individual animals.
The tracker uses OpenCV to automatically extract the location of an animal in a video with adaptive background subtraction.
It provides a high-level Python API for the analysis of animal behavior and locomotion.

**Figure 1.** The current frame (left) is subtracted from the background model (middle) to produce a foreground mask (right), which is then used to track the position of the animal over time (left).
