DeepLabStream

DeepLabStream

DeepLabStream is a python based multi-purpose tool that enables the realtime tracking and manipulation of animals during ongoing experiments. Our toolbox was orginally adapted from the previously published DeepLabCut (Mathis et al., 2018) and expanded on its core capabilities, but is now able to utilize a variety of different network architectures for online pose estimation (SLEAP, DLC-Live, DeepPosekit's StackedDenseNet, StackedHourGlass and LEAP). Our aim is to provide an open-source tool that allows researchers to design custom experiments based on real-time behavior-dependent feedback. My personal ideal goal would be a swiss-army knife like solution where we could integrate the many brilliant python interfaces. We are constantly upgrading DLStream with new features and integrate other open-source solutions.
