swaRmverse (Q7386752)

Provides a pipeline for the comparative analysis of collective movement data (e.g. fish schools, bird flocks, baboon troops) by processing 2-dimensional positional data (x,y,t) from GPS trackers or computer vision tracking systems, discretizing events of collective motion, calculating a set of established metrics that characterize each event, and placing the events in a multi-dimensional swarm space constructed from these metrics. The swarm space concept, the metrics and data sets included are described in: Papadopoulou Marina, Furtbauer Ines, O'Bryan Lisa R., Garnier Simon, Georgopoulou Dimitra G., Bracken Anna M., Christensen Charlotte and King Andrew J.
