Insights into the DOME Software System: A Comprehensive Analysis of Real-Time AI Tracking Footage and Multidimensional Data Examples
Release time:
2025-12-17
In the first four installments of this series, we have systematically analyzed the innovative outcomes of the Olden Labs DOME Smart Cage System. Today, we will guide you into its core—an intelligent analytics platform that provides real-time insights and continuously decodes the complex behaviors of animal groups.
The DOME system introduces a new paradigm for behavioral research: By leveraging multi-view vision and core AI algorithms, the system continuously learns the dynamic behavioral patterns and subtle features of each animal. This enables precise and persistent identification and tracking of individuals within natural group settings. Consequently, it offers researchers more naturalistic research conditions and greater flexibility in experimental design.
Real-time AI Tracking: Continuous Observation and Dynamic Annotation Beyond the Human Eye
The Olden Labs DOME Smart Cage System integrates near-infrared cameras and high-sensitivity microphones, combined with its core AI algorithms, to form a real-time operational "behavioral decoding hub." By continuously learning the movement patterns, posture characteristics, and interaction habits of each animal, it establishes and updates a "behavioral identity profile" for every individual within complex natural group environments.
Live Demo of Group Real-Time Tracking Analysis
In the live demonstration, multiple mice with similar fur colors and body sizes are freely moving and engaging in social interactions within the cage. The system is continuously and reliably annotating each animal with unique color-coded IDs and labels. The AI not only "sees" every mouse but also processes and marks their identities and behaviors in real-time through the video stream, achieving truly uninterrupted intelligent monitoring.
Panoramic View of 20+ Data Dimensions: From Real-Time Monitoring to Structured Insights
The power of the system lies in its ability to instantly transform continuous video of biological behavior into structured data that is quantifiable, analyzable, and actionable. The platform automatically and continuously calculates a range of key metrics, including but not limited to:
Multi-level Data Dashboard: A Complete Narrative from Individual to Group
All metrics are clearly and systematically organized within the platform, presented across different levels of analytical views：
The centralized control dashboard of the DOME system serves as a one-stop platform for managing multi-cage experiments. The interface provides real-time summaries of all cage device statuses, clearly displays experimental groupings, and supports key behavioral profiles and data quality feedback. Through the dashboard, you can uniformly monitor all devices and issue task commands, enabling efficient and centralized experiment management.
This is a comprehensive analysis panel for a research project (Example Study 2.0). The upper section clearly manages key metadata such as experimental groupings, cage counts, and animal information. The lower section allows users to customize analysis timeframes and data granularity, and export charts with a single click. The panel visually presents key metrics—such as average movement speed—through between-group comparisons, enabling an integrated analysis workflow from experimental design to data insights.
The group data panel is specifically designed for analyzing individual differences within a group. In its visualization space, it displays multiple core metrics—such as average movement speed and climbing events—side by side, clearly revealing the unique behavioral patterns of each mouse (M1–M5), even under identical housing conditions. The specially marked "cage exchange" timestamps on the page provide researchers with intuitive temporal anchors to analyze the immediate and ongoing effects of environmental changes on both group and individual behavior.
The data export panel provides complete, structured experimental records and analytical outputs. The upper table details metadata for each animal, including unique ID, treatment information, strain, age, and gender, while supporting custom time ranges and data aggregation granularity. The lower chart area allows users to select specific metrics (such as average movement speed) for visualization and export high‑quality charts and data with a single click, ensuring the traceability and reproducibility of research results.

Why is this considered an upgrade to the research paradigm?
1. More Natural Observation Conditions: Reduces potential stress and obtains behavioral and ecological data that more closely reflects natural states.
2. From "Monitoring" to "Insight": 7x24 uninterrupted AI analysis transforms video streams into quantified metrics across 20+ dimensions, revealing subtle patterns and long-term trends difficult for humans to detect.
3. Objective and Standardized Recording: Eliminates the subjectivity and intermittent errors inherent in manual observation. A unified algorithm ensures consistent and objective data collection standards.
4. Data Depth and Reusable Value: Comprehensive, multidimensional, and structured data assets lay a solid foundation for subsequent deep data mining, model training, and cross-disciplinary research.
The Olden Labs DOME Smart Cage System not only provides "visible" real-time monitoring but, more importantly, delivers "actionable" deep data. It liberates researchers from the burden of repetitive observation, allowing them to focus directly on scientific discovery based on high-quality, high-dimensionality data.
