1. A system for analyzing a mating behavior of an animal species, comprising:
at least one image-capturing device configured to capture a plurality of time-successive image frames, and
a processor,
wherein the system is configured to, via the processor,
detect at least one male of the animal species based on at least one image frame of the plurality of time successive image frames, and
detect at least one female of an animal species based on at least one image frame of the plurality of time successive image frames,
wherein the system is further configured to:
track a male of the detected at least one male of the animal species based on the at least one image frame of the animal species, track a female of the detected at least one female of the animal species based on the at least one image frame of the animal species,
register at least one motion pattern of at least one of the tracked male and the tracked female,
compare the registered at least one motion pattern with at least one predetermined motion patterns,
determine the likelihood of at least one action associated with the mating behavior between the tracked male and the tracked female based on the compare of the registered at least one motion pattern with the at least one predetermined motion patterns, and
determine the likelihood of a mating between the tracked male and the tracked female based on the determined likelihood of the at least one action associated with the mating behavior between the tracked male and the tracked female.
