3d-coordinates

[PolarBean]

Is it possible to use 3d coordinates with this software? theoretically it should make it more accurate, especially for videos shot at non-90* angles.

This is definitely something we have thought about, and it is on the list of potential future additions, but at this time no. SimBA gets good accuracy with a single camera at 90 degrees, and for initial implementation we are keeping it simple.

There are a number of other 3D approaches (Anderson Lab approach in PNAS 2015, http://www.3dtracker.org/, https://livemousetracker.org/) that use a 3D approach well, although they tend to use more specialized hardware (depth sensing, RFID) that we are hoping to avoid.

We are keeping track of requests though and have added this to the list. Thanks!

Although if people want to help add this feature and have datasets already available, we are down to look into it more seriously!
