The advent of high-speed cameras being made available for commercial use has facilitated the discovery of intriguing animal behaviors. However, analyzing animal kinematics in three dimensions necessitates using several high-speed cameras, which are specialized equipment and come at a significant expense. In this study, we utilize a conventional methodology of capturing synchronized multiple views using a solitary camera and planar mirrors. We introduce a user-friendly software package that facilitates the calibration of this economical setup and enables the three-dimensional (3D) analysis of high-rate maneuvers. Within[~] 15 minutes, a single high-speed camera is calibrated and can be used to acquire 3D data. We accompany the toolbox with a detailed user guide and video tutorial (https://tinyurl.com/yckm9y6b) for ease of use. We accurately reconstruct the wing beats of multiple flies (dragonfly, butterfly).

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
