We used the HyDaT algorithm to extract data on honeybee behaviour, including (a) movement, (b) heatmaps, (c) visible times, (d) speeds, and (e) turn-angles in two ground covers.

HyDaT also has an occlusion identification algorithm that uses background subtraction to identify insect occlusions and field-of-view exits.

HyDaT is available at @github.com repo github.com/malikaratnay...

Our algorithm, HyDaT (Hybrid Detection and Tracking), combines background subtraction with deep learning-based object detection #YOLO to accurately detect and track honeybees, even amidst environmental changes. It achieved an accuracy of 86.6% on a custom dataset.
