+# ndx-pose Extension for NWB
+
+[![PyPI version](https://badge.fury.io/py/ndx-pose.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/py/ndx-pose)
+
+ndx-pose is a standardized format for storing pose estimation data in NWB. It was developed initially to store the
+output of [DeepLabCut](http://www.mackenziemathislab.org/deeplabcut) in NWB, and is designed to store the output
+of general pose estimation tools. Please post an issue or PR to suggest or add support for your favorite pose 
+estimation tool.
+
+This extension consists of two new neurodata types:
+- `PoseEstimationSeries` which stores the estimated positions (x, y) or (x, y, z) of a body part over time as well as
+the confidence/likelihood of the estimated positions.
+- `PoseEstimation` which stores the estimated position data (`PoseEstimationSeries`) for multiple body parts,
+computed from the same video(s) with the same tool/algorithm.
+
+## Installation
+
+`pip install ndx-pose`
+
+## Usage
+```python
+import datetime
+import numpy as np
+from pynwb import NWBFile, NWBHDF5IO
+from ndx_pose import PoseEstimationSeries, PoseEstimation
+
+nwbfile = NWBFile(
+    session_description='session_description',

+camera1 = nwbfile.create_device(

+    description='left camera',
+    manufacturer='my manufacturer'
+)
+camera2 = nwbfile.create_device(
+    name='camera2',
+    description='right camera',
+    manufacturer='my manufacturer'
+)
+
+data = np.random.rand(100, 3)  # num_frames x (x, y, z)
+timestamps = np.linspace(0, 10, num=100)  # a timestamp for every frame

+    description='Marker placed around fingers of front right paw.',
+    data=data,
+    unit='pixels',
+    reference_frame='(0,0,0) corresponds to ...',
+    timestamps=front_left_paw,  # link to timestamps of front_left_paw
+    confidence=confidence,
+    confidence_definition='Softmax output of the deep neural network.',
+)
+
+pose_estimation_series = [front_left_paw, front_right_paw]
+
+pe = PoseEstimation(
+    pose_estimation_series=pose_estimation_series,
+    description='Estimated positions of front paws using DeepLabCut.',
+    original_videos=['camera1.mp4', 'camera2.mp4'],
+    labeled_videos=['camera1_labeled.mp4', 'camera2_labeled.mp4'],
+    dimensions=np.array([[640, 480], [1024, 768]], dtype='uint8'),
+    scorer='DLC_resnet50_openfieldOct30shuffle1_1600',
+    source_software='DeepLabCut',
+    source_software_version='2.2b8',
+    nodes=['front_left_paw', 'front_right_paw'],
+    edges=np.array([[0, 1]], dtype='uint8'),
+    # devices=[camera1, camera2],  # this is not yet supported
+)
+
+behavior_pm = nwbfile.create_processing_module(
+    name='behavior',
+    description='processed behavioral data'
+)
+behavior_pm.add(pe)
+
+path = 'test_pose.nwb'
+with NWBHDF5IO(path, mode='w') as io:
+    io.write(nwbfile)
+
+with NWBHDF5IO(path, mode='r', load_namespaces=True) as io:
+    read_nwbfile = io.read()
+    read_pe = read_nwbfile.processing['behavior']['PoseEstimation']
+    print(read_pe)
