Progress of Animal Behavior Studies with Optical Motion Capture System

In this article, we introduce the optical motion capture system and its application in animal behavior research, and track its development direction. Optical motion capture system has only been in existence for decades, but it has developed very rapidly. By virtue of its own advantages, it provides a new perspective in the study of animal behavior. It can allow biologists to obtain more specific details of animal movements, and can also establish links between human diseases and animal models. Combined with modern computer technology, optical motion capture systems will play a greater role in animal behavior research.
