use cases
The questions researchers bring to Firetail, how they are answered, and the published studies that did it.
Classify animal behaviour from accelerometer data
Turn months of tri-axial acceleration bursts into behaviour categories like flying, resting or feeding, with an unsupervised model you can inspect, refine and check against ground truth.
How it works →Synchronize video with accelerometer data
Replay camera footage in step with GPS and acceleration data, align it on a shared event, and turn what you see into ground truth for behaviour annotation.
How it works →Explore your Movebank data on the desktop
Download studies from Movebank by tag, individual or deployment, keep a local copy up to date, and see GPS, acceleration and other sensor data side by side.
How it works →Supported tags and file formats
Open GPS, acceleration and sensor data from e-obs, Ornitela, Vectronic, Technosmart and many other tags, via Movebank or straight from the files your tags produce.
