SMART is a powerful, versatile, robust and extensible video-based motor activity analysis system. Using state-of-the-art vision algorithms, SMART converts your PC-computer into a unique tool able to carry out extremely precise analyses of motor behavior in experimental animals. SMART takes full advantage of the Windows environment, offering a flexible and really easy-to-use interface.
SMART offers not only spatial position information but also automatic detection in a range of specific behaviors. Able to work either with a single animal in a single arena, with several animals in separate arenas or with several animals in the same arena (suitable for social behaviour studies), SMART provides great flexibility and accuracy in the evaluation of motor behaviors.Find out how the power of digital image processing, advanced algorithm technologies, fields-of-applications flexibility and an extremely intuitive user-interface can join all together in a single visual tracking tool: SMART. Find out why hundreds of scientists from many universities, research institutes, hospitals, private and public firms have chosen (and in many cases even repeatedly) SMART as their video-tracking system.
See, thanks to the following links, how easy it is to use and configure the system, to define zones, arenas and associations, to set-up and perform data acquisition, and the versatility, variety and accuracy of the output calculations:
| System's Configuration | Zones | Data Acquisition | Analysis | |
| the timing settings, the calibration of the dimensions and the camera, establishing the default directories, the input/output actions and reactions, etc. can be intuitively configured at will | Defining zones is no longer difficult nor tiring. A standard drawing palette will even let you draw, with just a click, the zones of a Water Maze | Data acquisition can be achieved in many different ways. Nevertheless, an instant test mode will always let you configure the system in just a few seconds. | SMART analyses a wide range of parameters, including those specific for Water Maze. |
