Introducing Firetail Fellowships
We’re pleased to announce the launch of our Firetail Fellowship Program!
Take the opportunity!
Selected projects will receive a full Firetail license and benefit from our expert support.
Firetail 10 now available
Firetail 10 is now available at www.firetail.de
Rapid visualization and analysis of animal data. Get it today and view data in ways you never have before. Ideal for Movebank resources and high precision tags like e-obs, Technosmart, Ornitela, Vectronic, Milsar and many others.
Wildlabs: Quick introduction to Firetail 9
Our contribution to the Wildlabs Variety hour is now available.
The full event can be found here:
Firetail at the Wildlabs Variety Hour
We’re glad to join the Wildlabs Variety Hour: Firetail developer Tobias Petri will outline key features of Firetail and FireSOM and of course we’ll have the possibility to address requirements and questions.

New Tutorial: Advanced Annotation Procedures
We are happy to present a new part of our tutorial series on Firetail techniques!
In this part you will learn how to
- segement acceleration data
- subdivide and refine predicted categories
- save your models and apply them to other individuals, tags or deployments
The tutorial has two parts. Firstly, a short lecture to introduce the underlying concepts and secondly, a live demo using Firetail 8 for an illustrated application in practice.
22.1 – Advanced annotation with FireSOM in Firetail 8
Firetail 8 released
ML-assisted prediction of behavioral categories: the revised FireSOM algorithm attends to many details and simplifies daily challenges.
We proudly present Firetail 8!
Firetail features state-of-the art visualization of GPS records, acceleration data, inert magnetic unit (IMU) data and sensor data for wild animal tracking.
Firetail 8 ships with an improved version of FireSOM for machine-learning assisted annotation, featuring new powerful workflows for behavioral prediction and prediction refinement.
refinement via prediction of selected regions, read more details in our revised manual
Firetail 8 can work with the full stack of e-obs sensors and via handling de-facto Movebank standards Technosmart and a wide range of tag manufacturers can be loaded. Firetail 8 now features an advanced detection of bursts and revised import filters for continuously recorded events by Ornitela and Vectronic. All with large-scale, long-term studies in mind.
For your daily field work, Firetail 8 allows you to download map data in advance and process raw tag data whenever there is no network coverage.
interactively inspect goodness-of-fit for IMU orientation
For Movebank data, you can download specific time periods or retrieve data updates to your project.
Firetail 8 is perfectly suited for high-res orientation data. You can now interactively calibrate IMU segments and preview the model’s goodness-of-fit. Select specific time windows and see how your data matches the IMU calibration ellipsoid.
Download Firetail 8 today and be amazed to see your data come to life!
