Introduction

fort-studio is a graphical interface used for the edition of .myrmidon files, and the visualization of the tracking data.

It follows a workflow similar to fort-myrmidon but allows graphical edition of Identification Ant Poses, Ant virtual shapes, Ant measurements and Zone geometries.

Interface Organization

fort-studio is organized by workspaces, i.e. views that focus on a specific tasks:

  • General workspace (Alt + 1) : General information on the experiment, ant listing and space / tracking data directory setup.

  • Statistics workspace (Alt + 2): Displays statistics on tag detection count

  • Identification workspace (Alt + 3): Edit ant identification definition and geometric pose

  • Ant shape workspace (Alt + 4): Edit ant’s virtual shape

  • Measurement workspace (Alt + 5): Perform diverse measurement on each Ant

  • Zoning workspace (Alt + 6): Defines geometric zone for each space

  • Ant Metadata workspace (Alt + 7): Defines Ant timed Key/Value pairs

  • Visualization workspace (Alt + 8): Visualizes identifications and collisions during the experiment, edit ant metadata based on tracking video.

Workspace can be selected through the Workspace menu or toolbar, or through the mentioned shortcut.

Note

Shortcuts in fort-studio are organized between action shortcuts (which modifies the experiment data) and navigation and selection shortcuts. The action shortcuts always use the Ctrl modifier. The navigation shortcuts uses the Alt modifier, or no modifier at all.
