This work introduces a co-capture system for multi-animal visual data acquisition using conventional cameras and event cameras. Event cameras offer multiple advantages over frame-based cameras, such as a high temporal resolution and temporal redundancy suppression, which enable us to efficiently capture the fast and erratic movements of fish. We furthermore present an event-based multi-animal tracking algorithm, which proves the feasibility of the approach and sets the baseline for further exploration of combining the advantages of event cameras and conventional cameras for multi-animal tracking.
