Abstract

In this paper we investigate a system for tracking
the motion of box jellyfish tripedalia cystophora in a special test
setup. The goal is to measure the motor response of the animal
given certain visual stimuli. The approach is based on tracking
the special sensory structures – the rhopalia – of the box jellyfish
from high-speed video sequences. We have focused on a realtime
system with simple building blocks in our system. However,
using a combination of simple intensity based detection and model
based tracking we achieve promising tracking results with up to
95% accuracy.
