WormPose: Image synthesis and convolutional networks for pose estimation in C. elegans
Results videos adapted from Open Worm Movement Database license CC 4.0
Overview
The WormPose package estimates the challenging poses of C. elegans in videos including coils and overlaps.
We train a convolutional neural network with synthetic worm images so that there is no need for human annotated labels.
