1. Q: How to process the original video files of fruit fly video tracking into VTL format?

A: The recorded video is converted into frame-by-frame images slices using our provided python program vtl.py. Movements of each fly were calculated by the alteration of its location in each image frame, which is transformed into a data point in a two-dimensional coordinate system.

2. Q: Why don't you provide the raw video files of fruit fly video tracking?

A: The volume of raw video data was estimated to exceed 100 TB, and thus only VTL files were reserved after video recording and transformation.

3. Q: I have a few questions which are not listed above, how can I contact the authors?
