I’m happy to share the latest release (v0.3.0) of the MoveR package.

MoveR in a nutshell

The MoveR is a lightweight R package (mostly coded with base R) representing a full workflow for importing, filtering, visualizing, and analyzing data from common video-tracking solutions.

Accordingly, MoveR includes flexible tools for polishing data, removing tracking artifacts, subsetting and plotting individual paths, and computing different movement and behavior metrics.

Also, MoveR is very versatile and is intended to ease the management and analysis of video-tracking data for both beginners and advanced R users.

For a quick overview of the MoveR functionalities with a short illustrative example, check the poster I have presented to the 43èmes journées des Entomophagistes. below:
