BugTag is a software solution for tracking insects. 

• Perfect for laboratory experiments where the individual identity of the insects needs to be tracked over a long period of time

• Based on proprietary tags and computer vision software. Tags are included.

• Tags are specifically designed so they can be small enough (as small as 1mm) to be placed on insects.

• Robust to errors resulting from their small size.

• Tags can be as small as 30x30 pixels with excellent performance, allowing large field of view.

• Tags can be as small as 15x15 pixels with high rate of success (double the field of view)

• The system is proven in use at the Weizmann Institute of Science with good performance and with published results.

• Flexible analysis of frames and movies from any source.

• BugBox is a dedicated imaging setup specifically for insect tracking and fluorescent imaging.

• Analyze offline or in real time.

• Development of customized setups including image acquisition, lighting and multiple cameras setups based on customer specifications.

• Automation friendly. Can be intergrated with other software and solutions.
