Biological structures are defined by rigid elements, such as bones, and elastic like muscles membranes. Computer vision advances have enabled automatic tracking of moving animal skeletal poses. Such developments provide insights into complex time-varying dynamics biological motion. Conversely, the soft-tissues organisms, nose elephant seals, or buccal sac frogs, poorly studied no computer methods been proposed. This leaves major gaps in different areas biology. In primatology, most critically, function air sacs is widely debated; many open questions on role evolution communication, including human speech, remain unanswered. To support dynamic study soft-tissue structures, we present a toolkit for automated semi-circular video data. The contains unsupervised tools (using Hough transform) supervised deep learning (by adapting DeepLabCut) methodology to track inflation laryngeal other spherical objects (e.g., gular cavities). Confirming value kinematic analysis, show that correlates with acoustic markers likely inform about body size. Finally, pre-processed audiovisual-kinematic dataset 7+ hours closeup audiovisual recordings siamang ( Symphalangus syndactylus ) singing. https://github.com/WimPouw/AirSacTracker aims revitalize non-skeletal morphological across multiple species.
