This workshop is targeted at students and researchers working with video recordings You will learn to use MG Toolbox, a Python package with numerous tools for visualizing and analyzing video files. This includes visualization techniques such as motion videos, motion history images, and motiongrams; techniques that, in different ways, allow for looking at video recordings from different temporal and spatial perspectives. It also includes some basic computer vision analysis, such as extracting quantity and centroid of motion, and using such features in analysis.
MG Toolbox for Python is a collection of high-level modules that generate all of the above-mentioned visualizations.The toolbox is relevant for everyone working with video recordings of humans, such as in linguistics, psychology, medicine, human-computer interaction, and educational sciences.
