Research Background

Subjective scoring lacks reproducibility — cognitive protocols need rigor; 3D fine behavior makes assessment both standardized and objective.

Police dog selection and training assessment have long relied on handler observation and subjective scoring — lacking objective motion and posture data comparable across batches and individuals. Cognitive dimensions like working memory, inhibitory control, and human-canine interaction require tightly controlled protocols with precise timestamps; manual logging is error-prone and hard to archive.

BehaviorAtlas Police Dog Intelligent Analysis System is custom-built for police dog training bases: multi-view synchronized capture enables 3D reconstruction and fine behavior analysis; six built-in cognitive-behavior paradigms run online with automated Trial-level scoring (0/1/2). Paradigm events align precisely with 3D skeletons, spatial trajectories, and eye-contact duration — paradigm defines what to measure, 3D captures how it was done, fused scoring delivers complete assessment.

Standardized Paradigms

Six built-in protocols with Session/Block/Trial hierarchy — warm-up and formal trials separated, ready to deploy.

Markerless 3D Tracking

Multi-view calibration and 3D reconstruction — skeleton, trajectories, orientation, and approach distance.

Score–Behavior Fusion

Trial-level handler scores aligned to timestamps — plus reaction time, eye-contact duration, and more.

Core Software

Integrated experiment and analysis — online paradigms, multi-view recording, 3D behavior reconstruction, and fused assessment outputs.

Multiple Paradigms for K9 Cognitive & Behavioral Assessment

Six built-in standard protocols covering stimulus response, cognitive memory, cross-species communication, and executive control — each pairs with 3D fine behavior metrics.

Stimulus Response

Static Stimulus

Orientation, approach, and response to fixed object/human stimuli

Protocol

4 SubBlocks (object/human) × 4 positions (L R' L' R), 30s/15s countdown

3D Metrics

First-orientation latency, approach path, 3D distance-to-stimulus curve

Moving Stimulus

Tracking, pursuit, and interception of moving targets

Protocol

Same as static; re-warm-up if gap exceeds 30 minutes

3D Metrics

Pursuit trajectory, speed profile, interception spatial accuracy

Cognition & Comprehension

Working Memory

Information retention and correct recall in delayed tasks

Protocol

4–20 consecutive repetitions, position sequence L R R L L R L R R L

3D Metrics

Delay-period exploration/stillness, dwell time at target position

Gesture Comprehension

Recognition and execution of handler gesture commands

Protocol

4 SubBlocks, 2–6 reps each, 6-position sequence pre-configured

3D Metrics

Head-to-gesture 3D orientation angle, response latency

Control & Bonding

Inhibitory Control

Impulse inhibition and waiting under distraction and temptation

Protocol

Fixed position, consecutive reps after warm-up

3D Metrics

Violation approach count, impulsive movement distance

Eye Contact

Frequency, duration, and task relevance of eye contact with handler

Protocol

No scoring sheet, fixed position consecutive reps, countdown only

3D Metrics

Total eye-contact duration, segment count, initiator statistics

Experiment Data Structure

Four-level hierarchy: Experiment → Session → Block → Trial — each Trial sync-records multi-view video and scores for reproducible analysis and archiving.

Experiment

A complete assessment project with .ba3d config and data/ raw folders

Session

One continuous run; interruption creates a new Session

Block

Sub-experiment unit (e.g. familiar object) with multiple Trials

Trial

Minimum unit: one countdown + score + multi-view .avi recording + timestamp

Software Functions

Multi-view Capture & Calibration

Multi-camera synchronized recording with checkerboard calibration — high-quality raw video and timestamps for 3D reconstruction.

Six Built-in Paradigms
