# Mission

`poseinterface` exists to advance pose estimation and point tracking
applications in animal behaviour videos. The project aims to:

- Build a [**benchmark dataset**](target-benchmark-dataset) with dozens of
  videos and annotations from multiple institutes,
  open to external contributions.
- Develop a general-purpose **Python framework** for running pose estimation
  and point tracking tools on benchmark data, and for comparing their outputs
  via evaluation metrics.
- Provide **baseline models** trained using common pose estimation and tracking
  frameworks on the benchmark datasets.
