Summary:
Waggle dance is a behavior performed by honeybee workers for sharing information of feeding sources among other workers. It is important to analyze the occurrence timing and spatial distributions of dances in order to illustrate how workers communicate with each other. This paper proposes a scheme for automatically detection of workers undergoing waggle dance from a sequence of images. The performance of the proposed scheme is investigated through the experiments of detecting workers from sets of images obtained by video camera.
