start the gui by simply running
python gui.py
in bash current steps taken are displayed until the gui pops up. Now basically everything is controlled in the keyboard.
The first image is the first mask, which is indicated as a green rectangle. So the ID needs to be determined for that individual. To go forward or backward in the video press
n - for next frame (hold to see video)
p - for previous frame
Now, to label the id use the numbers 1 to 4, which should be tied to the identity of the primates (i.e. 1 - Bob, 2 - John, ...) So after identifying the animal press Numbers 1 to 4. If you are unsure follow the rule: in doubt - leave it out! and press
d - for doubt
Then the program will just skip to the next mask.
create a fresh python environment (conda installed previously) with:
conda create -n idtracker python=3.6
afterwards install necessary packages from requirements file
pip install -r requirements.txt
and Done!
